For Non-Opal products, a workaround for this issue is to use the Block Erase capability supported by the device in one of the following ways:
- For affected NVMe devices, the Format NVM command can be used with Secure Erase Settings set to User Data Erase (001b).
- For affected NVMe devices that support the Sanitize command, the Sanitize command can be used with Sanitize Action (SANACT) set to either “Start a Block Erase sanitize operation” (010b) or “Start an Overwrite sanitize operation” (011b).
- For affected SATA devices, the BLOCK ERASE EXT or OVERWRITE EXT commands can be used.
Acknowledgements:
The following issue was found internally by Intel employees. Intel would like to thank Ciprian Elies.
Intel, and nearly the entire technology industry, follows a disclosure practice called Coordinated Disclosure, under which a cybersecurity vulnerability is generally publicly disclosed only after mitigations are available.
