The Intel® AMT SDK is available for download [here](<https://software.intel.com/content/www/us/en/develop/download/intel-active-management-technology-sdk.html>). Intel has issued a Product Discontinuation notice for the Intel® DAL SDK and recommends that users of the Intel® DAL SDK uninstall it or discontinue use at their earliest convenience. ### Acknowledgements: Intel would like to thank Trammell Hudson (CVE-2020-8705), Marius Gabriel Mihai (CVE-2020-12354, CVE-2020-12304), Oussama Sahnoun (CVE-2020-12297), Rotem Sela and Brian Mastenbrook (CVE-2020-12355) for reporting these issues. The additional issues were found internally by Intel employees. Intel would like to thank Arie Haenel, Aviya Erenfeld, Binyamin Belaciano, Dmitry Piotrovsky, Julien Lenoir, Niv Israely, Ofek Mostovoy, Yakov Cohen and Yossef Kuszer. 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.
