Intel Management Engine pwned by buffer overflow

I consider that to be a feature

After all once you get your own code into Intel ME, you can control it. This feature by itself isn't actually a security problem as it requires hardware access (in which case you can do far worse). However it might allow you to actually kill ME from within, or even make it do sensible things.
