Intel Server Network Adapters

[jscheepers]

Hi @MorteNoir1

You make specific mention of the Intel PRO/1000 MT Desktop (82540EM) adapter, but no mention of the two server adapters:

Intel PRO/1000 T Server (82543GC)
Intel PRO/1000 MT Server (82545EM)

Did you perform tests against these two adapters, and if so, are they also vulnerable?

Thanks,

Hi @jscheepers

I didn't mention these adapters because the exploit doesn't work on them and just does hang a VM forever. The same applies to network modes other than NAT: the exploit hangs a VM. However, since exploitability on Intel server adapters is unknown I avoided to recommend them as a solution.
