Some Intel Core chips keep crashing, game devs complain
Sunday 25th February 2024 13:24 GMT
Power supply noise.
Noise on supply voltages inside the chip can lead to all sorts of errors.
CPUs are CRAZY current bursty. This wide bandwidth low frequency rumble is crazy to look at on the various supply lines at the chip. While voltage regulators MOSTLY handle this noise, its much more of a impedance issue across a wide freq range below 100hz then a DC supply that feeds a chip. These supply lines need to be looked at as low freq AC rather then simple DC..
Motherboard makers typically follow "reference designs" for power supply bypass caps and regulation / current requirements. A "reference design" is the least expensive way that works. It is not the BEST way. So you see the same circuits and even board layout across various boards and board makers for a specific socket.
Each CPU is different in how its wired internally power wise. Each CPU has a different current spectra profile. This current spectra of course varies in realk time depending on what it is doing.
The amount of actual noise on the power input pins can be pretty impressive that it can work at all.
So its NO surprize that some CPUs, under some power conditions, running specific things, can glitch.
What makes this a more complex to engineer is that modern test equipment like a $100k Tektronix MSO scope really does not do well looking at noise. Digital scopes are all about statistics. Averaging. Glith capture. They are alll designed around capturing a SIGNAL and excluding noise. So when you get a truly random signal its much harder to look at using modern gear. To see these signals WAY better you gotta go back to the 70-80s and get a Tektronix 7904 analog scope. You can imagine modern motherboard makers and CPU designers dont have a restored 7904 on thier bench. BUT THEY SHOULD..
Plus modern engineers rely on computer modeling too much and soon AI..
So really the issue is instrumentation in R&D.
The solution to this issue tho is pretty easy. WAY WAY more super low ESR caps RIGHT at the CPU. So rather then a .1uF, a 33uF monolithic ceramic or more. Per pin.. Then a bit back from the socket, a giant tant cap, like 2200uF.. All this after the regulator and before the chip.
Now this issue might indeed be in the chip in how it handles the power lines on board. But cleaning up the power coming in can only help..
A digital system is really just a analog circuit running a few voltages that are on/off.. Modern engineers forget there is a VAST analog world that makes thier world go around.

>
> The maintenance network, which controls all the devices on a DOCSIS network, is susceptible to attack. In fact its nearly criminally negligent in its lack of security and appears to be based on 1990's security protocols of mostly security thru obscurity. .. A subscriber on the LAN side can determine his address on the maintenance network and can ping ANY CPE on the network as long as they are on the same ISP. The CPE are not walled off from each other in any way. This could result in a VAST compromise of the entire MSO network nationwide from a 0-day worm that self spreads via the wide open maintenance network connecting all devices. . . ALL susceptible devices on your network, 10's of millions, could be taken over in hours with a self spreading worm with a nearly impossible task of clean up and maybe a week of complete ISP downtime. This would also result in the largest loss of subscribers in history for cable as people flee to DSL and 5G that day trying to get internet. You would need new firmware for every device that addresses the issue, and getting new firmware will take weeks. All the susceptible CPE might be bricked with no hope of recovery once taken over. The current security practices are inadequacy. The news coverage would be devastating. Each modem/router could attack the subscriber side and scrape data and files. On the ISP side it would lock out all maintenance access and recovery of the devices, and the whole network, nearly impossible. It would setup a serious botnet - possibly the largest ever created when combined with the other top world wide ISPs. It might even result in a Ransom ware attack on a massive scale with all the CPE locked out from the ISP. A silent malware could spread stealthy and then sit on CPE and attack the subscribers quietly by doing fake DNS and even MiM attacks. This could already be the case. A botnet of CPE would be incredibly powerful
>
> This wide open gap appears to exist in most ISPs. So it is a CableLabs lack of proper security vision to keep up with modern threats by doing best practices for the maintenance network seems to be the main issue. 10G offers micronets and SDN containment of LAN devices,,, yet the ISP has nothing like it to protect its own network and its subscribers.
>
> Each ISP will need to do a 3rd party security audit and pentest of all the MSO's maintenance networks and secure them. The kinda emergency level, possible fairly easy temp fix is simple. Isolate each piece of CPE. Right now all CPE can see each other and spread worms. Simply doing a config change could wall off each device with NO downside. This might be able to be implemented maybe in a day. This alone would reduce the issue to nearly zero. BLocking access to the maintenance network from the subscriber is also key and most likely easy. MSOs REALLY need to do this and because these discussions are going on now, badguys could be reading, so RIGHT NOW is the time to secure MSO networks BEFORE a incident occurs.

SolarWinds attacker on the move: Russia's Nobelium crew has trebled attacks targeting MSPs, cloud resellers, says Microsoft
Monday 25th October 2021 19:47 GMT
I guess its good they don't know about this newly identified issue at all DOCSIS cable co's. It starts with discussions and then a MSO insider lets loose about the "maintence network connects EVERY device on the DOCSIS network and has no security. Its like a 16 million port switch tied to the LAN side. Modems are handing with SAMBA access... FIrmware is security from the 1990s'. All DOCSIS networks worldwide are WIDE OPEN to attack.. So now we just wait for a MSO to have all its CPE taken over and ransomware is called into action with 16 million set top box computers fully taken over by a worm in a hour and now scraping the clients networks for data and attacking the MSO. https://www.dslreports.com/forum/r31122204-SB6190-Puma6-TCP-UDP-Network-Latency-Issue-Discussion~start=9780

Nice story
As one of the people who found these issues and has worked tirelessly on this issue I really appreciate El Reg doing such a good job covering this. It has helped put pressure on Intel/ISPs/Modem vendors to get this all resolved.. The real issue is that firmware can ONLY be updated by the ISP. This 1970's era rule needs to go away and CPE needs to be able to be updated by users as well, like cell phones can be updated. PLUS of course Intel needs to completly redesign its "connected home" modem chip from the ground up. I operate a web site with a list of the modems effected.. http://www.badmodems.com/

Uh-Koh! Apple-Samsung judge to oversee buggy Intel modem chip fight
Thursday 8th June 2017 23:33 GMT
Im so happy its this judge :) We have put a lot of effort into this over the last 8 months at DSLReports. Ive worked hard for this. Whats scary is the DoS https://www.theregister.co.uk/2017/04/27/intel_puma6_chipset_trivial_to_dos/ its completely unpatched and the exploit code is so easy grandma could do it. https://github.com/nallar/Puma6Fail/releases and 2 months after Intel Product security acknolodged the issue we still dont have a CVE despite its agreed to HIGH rating. No alerts from anyone. Ive never seen a public 0-day that effects millions with public trival code published that has no alerts after 2 months. Also the ISP/MSO hardware cant mitigate / block the exploit because of its streaming nature. So once a attack is started the modem stays offline until the IP is changed.
FYI: Ticking time-bomb fault will brick Cisco gear after 18 months
Sunday 5th February 2017 23:40 GMT
I rewrote the Cisco press release..
______________________________________
Cisco strives to deliver technologies and services that work. However recently, Cisco became aware that Intel planted a timed obsolescence feature into its Atom 2000 that affects a large number of expensive Cisco products. In all units, we have seen the Intel Atom CPU degrade over time. Although the Cisco products with this Intel CPU are currently performing normally, we expect product failures to increase over the years as Intel built this in to sell more chips, beginning after the unit has been in operation for approximately 18 months. Once the Intel Atom has timed out, the system will become a brick, will not boot, and is not recoverable. This requires the end user to buy a new product. The Intel Atom is also used by a huge number of other vendors on a large number of products.
We have identified all Cisco products that have Intel Inside and tried to work with Intel to quickly get a chip that works however they keep asking us to provide examples of the failure. All products shipping currently do not have this issue as far as we know. To support our customers and partners, Cisco will flog Intel and recall all units under warranty or covered by any valid services contract dated as of November 16, 2016, which have Intel Inside and shove them up Intel's ass. Due to the age-based nature of the failure and the crap ton of replacements, not to mention the cost, we will be prioritizing orders based on the products’ time in operation.
Q: When did you become aware of this issue?
Cisco learned about the timed failure and potential customer impacts due to this feature in late November 2016. Cisco and Intel have been working as quickly as possible to hide the impact and scope of the issue, create and test PR releases, and put in place a plan to hide Intel from lawyers without causing undue panic or effect Intel's stock price.

Re: It happens
We dont know yet if it can be fixed with software. Im waiting on the firmware now. However at least one tester shows the issue is not fixed. Im the DSLReports guy Xymox1 who found the issue and the guy Chris mentions in the story. Those are my plots. So.. We dont know yet if it can be fixed in firmware. Its a stay tuned moment.

OMG Richard, Your my hero.. Keep these stories coming. Our only hope is the press making light of this Shit. I do want to point out tho that this same issue of poor coding, crappy foresight and asinine product planning is preset to some degree in almost every consumer device today. If its destined for a consumer, there is zero doubt its got serious security bugs that allow the device to be taken over. As just one example, BluRay players all have some old horribly outdated and never updated Java in them. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BD-J
We need to not only address the IoS we need to address ALL of consumer electronics.
A UL for software needs to occur. We need to give software the same legal status as hardware and allow software companies to be sued. No more 50 page disclaimers. Software needs the same legal status as any hardware device, like a car.

You must write this crappy code all around us
I am a installer of super high end AV gear and automation. $10M single rooms and completely automated houses. Over the last 5 years firmware bugs and just terrible code has become my #1 issue and typically now costs me most of my profits trying to find work-a-rounds for embedded bugs a mfgr wont ever fix. EVERY device in ALL my clients homes now has a serious show stopping bug. 5 years ago there were none. Its epidemic and going logarithmic in its curve. In consumer electronics its completely out of control. Its costing people like me HUGE amounts of money. This latest DDoS mess is sure NO SURPRISE to me. The crap in consumer electronics is so horrid and 1/8 baked its damn near criminal. As far as poorly written software killing people look no further then Tesla. This DDoS cost the world how much in money ? Just this one single stupid software decision ? And its only the beginning. It used to be that SOME attempt was made to debug software before it shipped. Now its more like Alpha code. I ran into a company that makes $50,000 DAC's that was using MAC addresses for network communications and could not understand why it could not communicate thru a switch.
Software needs to be treated like a hardware product legally. Its that simple. Why we ever allowed them to escape this liability is just beyond me.
What im discussing is the future. Its just a matter of time. As the story very clearly points out the industry cant regulate itself. It never has. Its been on a path of getting far far worse in the last 5 years. Its out of control for CE with profit the only thing that counts. Does it need to be NASA level ? no. But we are a LONG LONG way from where we need to be. I would argue its not THAT hard to make software NASA level reliable. We need to hire WAY MORE programmers. Whole industries need to appear that check code. YES it will be more expensive.
EVERY ONE OF YOU has beat your head in complete frustration, and may be right now, over some horribly obvious just terrible code. Lets all stand up and fix this. If we all just throw up our hands and say nothing and use lower case, NOTHING WILL GET DONE...

Its costing the world a trillion a year in lost productivity for crappy code and horrendous GUI's. Lets make it mandatory that software WORK. We have standards for things that plug into power, lets have standards for things that plug into network ports. FURTHER. Lets have standards for SOFTWARE. Lets >> REMOVE THEIR ESCAPE FROM LIABILITY WITH 50 PAGE DISCLAIMERS <<.. Lets simply allow lawsuits. That should do it. WRITE CODE THAT WORKS OR BE SUED.. Sounds perfect. ITS WAY PAST TIME FOR THIS..

I have downloaded all the patches every issued for Win 7 up till the patches mentioned. I then install WIn 7 and use discs to update it. The reason is one day they will not support Win 7 anymore and I will want to still install and update it. So after a virgin install up to this point I Deep Freeze. Thats how im going to run for years to come. Im just never going to update or go to win 10. Ever. Even if i have to reinstall Wn 7 often. I will just make a image.

Apple says iOS, OS X is immune to Heartbleed SSL bug
Friday 11th April 2014 15:33 GMT 
Apple is misleading
Apple is misleading people. While the OS might be not vulnerable to Heartbleed, the apps ARE vulnerable. This is confirmed by Crestron - a major home automation manufacturer. http://support.crestron.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/5471/kw/5471
So its VERY important to report that while the OS of things like iPads/iPhones/laptops and windows machines may not be a issue, the apps and programs might be.
For example, is Safari vulnerable ? So if a apple or windows browser visits a malicious web site can data be stolen from the machine visiting the server. Heartbleed works on clients too.
Its its irresponsible to mislead consumers that thier products are not vulnerable when in fact they most likely have apps or software that is running on the device.

People who are not professionals in this field should not do it.
The biggest problem with my high end AV industry is that about anybody ( or any company ) thinks they magically know what they are doing when in reality this gear at this price range is highly complex and each piece must be chosen carefully. This combo of gear is horrible. At least it would have been good to consult a professional when writing the story. This is like deciding to create a server farm and never asking a experienced pro how to do it or what hear to buy and just buying the most expensive boxes you can... F A I L....

I can put 14 Hard discs in my computer the way its configured now. So I could have 56,000 GB..
Lets see... Thats ruffly 12,400 movies.. Its only 14 million MP3 songs..
Maybe its possible to have every piece of music ever written on one computer ?
I could buy a small rack enclosure about the size of a night stand and get 32 drives into it PLUS whats in my computer.
At that point I believe I could store the entire worlds total produced movies and music pretty easy with more then enough room for every printed book/magazine/paper..
Thats all with technology available right now.
You know soon it might be possible to get every bit of humanities total produced, everything, on one system pretty easy...
Wow all of mans knowledge collected in one place... Easily... Thats where the future is going. Looks like one day we will have EVERYTHING on a hand held device.
Kinda makes the value of the content pretty minimal when you can just buy EVERYTHING KNOWN TO MAN on one device. I could see that happening.

"Netbooks aside"... Well wait a minute, Netbooks are really popular. So your saying just disregard this segment of the market and never mind that your software product causes their machine to page swap with disc like crazy when running your program slowing down the entire machine ?
A LOT of laptops just just a few years ago are not gonna do 4GB of ram ever. So count them out of the picture for your product too ?
And then there is the whole world of zillions of older machines that have 1GB of ram or even older ones at 512MB. The entire world of used machines.. Many people have no idea how to upgrade ram and will never do that.
And let me make sure I understand here.. Its all for search ? Well guess what, I use search once every 3-6 months.
I have 16,000 emails going back to 1991 in my thunderbird 2.0 running on a 1Ghz 512MB laptop and it searches them all just fine. In fact it searches them WAY FASTER on my machine rather then installing 3.X because 3.X starts page swapping and slows the computer way down...
SO... Like most software these days older is better.
AND what works quicker on a resource challenged machine will work faster and better on a high performance machine.
On my 3Ghz overclocked, 4GB ram, adaptec raid 0 with WD raptors machine, 2.0 is still quicker and faster at searching then 3.X .
So there are no new features I need in 2.X and 2.X performs better on both my old school laptop and high performance workstation.
So this newer software, like most new software, FAILS in many ways because the new generation coders have no clue how to write efficient code or are to lazy to do so. This is a epidemic that effects almost all current software companies not just this product. Yea Firefox is also a perfect example of just a complete resource hog.
Friday 18th June 2010 10:49 GMT 
WTH ?
1 GB of ram !?!?! And for what exactly ? I dont see anything better for me.
WHy is it that new software uses just more and more ram and resources to do the same thing ?
I use computers that are slightly older. Limited in ram. Why do software makers never want to make nice thin clients ? If 2.0 could do everything important that 3.0 does why does 3.0 need 7 TIMES more ram ?
I disagree with 64MB being what 2.0 uses. I have used it forever and it AT MOST uses 38MB. Mostly it sits at 19MB..
Now what will happen is they will stop supporting 2.0 and force me to use a insecure 2.0 because if I use 3.0 the 250MB of ram usage will push me into disc mem swapping and slow my computer down a whole lot..
So... Screw 3.0 and come on software developers, are you so skillless you cant write efficient code ?

At least SOMEONE in the news world actually cares about language..
Reading popular web site news like CNN is just horrible. It seems there is no proof reading at all. Sentences slapped together wrongly, misspellings, horrible grammer and a complete lack style.
They edit stories as a story progresses rather then writing a new story on a new development. This leads to a story with facts that are days old and now incorrect. Usally the top of the story has the current facts but by the end of the story its left overs from days previous.
This has spread to many news outlets.
El Reg however is just awesome. Well written, awesome style... It shines above most news outlets..

Lets not even discuss email being so non-secure while there are complete solutions already in place in all the client and server products currently in use.
The use of encryption and real authentication is WAY OVERDUE.
The tools for complete end to end encryption are available now. From a completely encrypted hard disc to SSL browsing & SSL email transmission. These require almost zero client awareness. Server to server SSL is available in Sendmail and Microsoft products.
If bandwidth is such a huge issue then use a low grade. Its still better then none at all. Change to a high grade on critical items.
