This is a question that Mebori does not have to answer.

After all, it is none of his business to explain how to explain to the board.

"Also, Mr. Maebory, the Pentagon spoke to me today and asked about our situation, what do you think I should say? Why don't you just give what you just said over there?"

This question made it impossible for Mebori to remain silent, after all, the other party is a big customer.

Mabri cautiously replied, "No, I actually don't think the problem is that serious. Based on the data analysis we have so far, it is unlikely that the vulnerabilities in the departments with protections in place will be exploited indiscriminately. ”

Stephen nodded, and then continued: "So now I can tell you the third message I received today, Mr. Mebberly, just now Apple's Mr. Cook called me, someone has also mastered a CPU vulnerability that can cause serious problems, and even this vulnerability can bypass our security management mechanism for the kernel, allowing ordinary users to rewrite the CPU microcode at will, have you thought about how to deal with it?"

"Rewrite the microcode?" Maebori was stunned.

Stephen nodded and said, "yes, I wonder what would happen if the other side did come out with a piece of software that would allow ordinary users to modify our microcode, maybe the consumers who claimed could come to my office from the gate of Intel, what do you think?" ”

The president was really angry.

When did Intel's CPUs become a dilapidated house with air leaks on all sides?

Shouldn't being plagued by vulnerabilities be the problem of friends like Microsoft and Apple?

Now Intel is actually bothered by hardware vulnerabilities every few days, can this day be passed?

Instead of paying attention to the sarcasm in Stephen's tone, Mebori asked seriously, "Which security company is the other party?" If what they say is true, or we can indeed pay for this vulnerability." ”

"Okay, I've decided to talk to him now, or you can convince him to buy the hole. By the way, I forgot to introduce the other party to you, the legendary brain-computer chip was developed by him. And he's said to be not much older than your son, and now you feel ashamed?

......

At night, Wang Yufei was still fighting at night in front of the computer - perfecting the program.

It was only two o'clock in the evening, and he still had an hour to work, which was not much, but the efficiency was amazing.

For example, Wang Yufei's hands were dancing quickly on the keyboard, and then lines of code were typed out.

If a serious programmer sees Wang Yufei's work status at this time, he will definitely think that if Wang Yufei is not in the water forum at this time, then there is a high probability that he is tearing up with the product manager.

Who writes a program seriously without thinking at all, as if they are writing an article?

You must know that no matter what kind of programming language, the meaning is far richer than natural language, and you must think carefully before typing the code, and they often use shortcut keys to copy and paste the code when you can type it out quickly.

After all, some people are native speakers of Chinese, some are native speakers of English, and some are native speakers of other messy languages, but no one is a programming language.

Not to mention that serious programmers have to curse in their hearts when they type code.

Stupid customers, do they understand the needs?

Stupid project manager, what a garbage plan this has made!

Stupid product manager, aren't you tired of mentioning some garbage needs!

Stupid test, you don't understand the serious test, it's okay to mess up your first!

Stupid colleague, what garbage code is written!

Stupid architecture, what kind of garbage architecture is this Nima!

......

But Wang Yufei doesn't need to scold in his heart anymore.

After all, from the customer to the project manager to the product manager, architecture, and testing, he basically does it all.

Occasionally, Lu Yuxin will help him do something, but of course Wang Yufei will not complain about his own women in his heart.

As for the thought process......

Although programming languages are not his native language, for Wang Yufei, these programming languages are even more familiar than his native language.

Especially after immersing yourself in a state of focused work.

The feeling that the code was rushing directly out of his head, and the speed of his hands couldn't even keep up with his brain speed, made him unable to stop at all.

However, at this time, the phone vibrated and woke Wang Yufei up from that mysterious and mysterious state.

But it doesn't matter, anyway, for Wang Yufei, it is very simple to enter this state.

Glancing at the caller ID, it was a foreign number.

This is enough to show that the other party is anxious.

Otherwise, he should have received this call tomorrow to be considered normal.

I just don't know which one.

"Hello. ”

"Hello!"

Or because it was too unfamiliar, the other party didn't speak directly after greeting politely.

"I'm sorry, but this time should be late at night in Huaxia?"

"Yes, but I haven't slept yet. ”

"Oh, excuse me, I'm Intel's CTO, Mike Maeberry. Are you the king?"

"Yes, Mr. Mebberly. ”

"So I heard you have a fatal vulnerability in your hands that targets Intel CPUs?"

"That's right, I also designed a software based on this vulnerability, which, as I told Mr. Cook, can be used to modify CPU microinstructions. Well, it's an interesting loophole. I've had a long discussion with my collaborators about whether or not this vulnerability was intentionally left by your company. ”

Wang Yufei told the truth.

At that time, he really discussed this issue with Lu Yuxin.

But this big truth once embarrassed Mebberly.

Regardless of whether this is a backdoor specially left by their own family, it is embarrassing.

"Well, did you ask Mr. Cook to contact us for a deal with us?"

"Yes, I can provide this vulnerability to your company free of charge, and accordingly, I hope that your company can reach a memorandum of settlement with Weihua to agree and support the application of brain-computer chips on the PC side. ”

Mabeli and Stephen looked at each other.

After a moment of silence, Mebri spoke, "With this one loophole, do you think we will agree to this request?"

"I think so, because if I release this software and give detailed software instructions and operation guides, it will cause a lot of trouble for your company. And as far as I know, your company is facing a big problem about CPU vulnerabilities. ”

"The frequent occurrence of loopholes, even at the level directly exposed to consumers, is a great blow to your company's goodwill. If last year's CPU vulnerability was epic, then this time the vulnerability will be nuclear! After all, the vulnerability exposed last year has been solved at the level of major Internet companies, and this time it will reach hundreds of millions of customers!"

"This is a choice between long-term and near-term worries! Smart people will choose to solve near-term worries first, and after freeing up their hands, they are thinking about future problems!"
