#DELL CRITICAL UPDATES UPDATE#

If I ever need to run a hardware scan I can still run Dell's F12 ePSA (enhanced Pre-boot System Assessment) hardware diagnostics from my BIOS, and my Windows 10 OS also has its own built-in hardware diagnostics at Settings | Update & Security | Troubleshoot | Additional Troubleshooters.Ħ4-bit Win 10 Pro v21H2 build 19044.2006 * Firefox v105.0.1 * Microsoft Defender v.7-0.3 * Malwarebytes Premium v4.5.14.210- * Macrium Reflect Free v * Dell SupportAssist v3.11.4.29 * Dell Update Windows Universal v4.6.0 * Inspiron 5583/5584 BIOS v1.20.

As I noted in JohnnyRedShirt's thread, I personally don't like using SupportAssist and I just launch Dell Update once a week or so to check for available Dell software and driver updates for my Inspiron 5584.

When it comes to checking for updates, the greatest difference between the two programs is that SupportAssist loads automatically at boot-up and runs constantly in the background, and if you use the default settings in SupportAssist and leave Option (gear icon) | Settings | Automate Scans and Optimizations | Scan Your System and Drivers ENABLED then SupportAssist will automatically check for available updates once a week.įurther to DELL-Jesse L's comments, see my 0 post in JohnnyRedShirt's SupportAssist Unable to Get Drivers / Missing Features After Re-installation about some important differences between Dell Update and SupportAssist. Dell Update is a recommended system tool that ensures the installation of critical updates without user intervention.

The "Check for Updates" scan from Dell Update (called Dell Command | Update or Alienware Update on some Dell computer models) should detect and install the same Dell software and driver updates as a manual "Get Drivers & Downloads" scan run from the Home tab of SupportAssist. NOTE: Dell Update software is available for select Dell Inspiron, Vostro, XPS, and Alienware Update for select Alienware desktops and laptops. Device driver and application updates may help in the following areas: Dell Update software is supported on select Dell Inspiron, Vostro, XPS, and Alienware Update is supported on Alienware PCs running Microsoft Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 8.1, Windows 10 and Windows 11.

As with a previous bug that lay in hiding for 12 years, it is difficult to overstate the impact this could have on users and enterprises that fail to patch."

"These critical vulnerabilities, which have been present in Dell devices since 2009, affect millions of devices and millions of users worldwide. "For example, we could communicate with ATA port IO for directly writing to the disk, then overwrite a binary that is loaded by a privileged process." "Since IOPL (I/O privilege level) equals to CPL (current privilege level), it is obviously possible to interact with peripheral devices such as the HDD and GPU to either read/write directly to the disk or invoke DMA operations," the team noted. Functions in the driver were also exposed, creating read/write vulnerabilities usable to overwrite tokens and escalate privileges.Īnother interesting bug was the possibility to use arbitrary operands to run IN/OUT (I/O) instructions in kernel mode.
