[German<\/a>]Microsoft have been used TPM chips from Infineon in Surface Pro 3. These chips probably contain vulnerabilities in some versions. Affected owners of a Surface Pro 3 should therefore install an TPM update.  <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I recently wrote something about attacks on Trusted Platform Mobile (TPM) chips in the article Security: TPM vulnerable; and dump mode for Intel ME<\/a>. And almost exactly one year ago Microsoft addressed in ADV170012 a vulnerability (CVE-2017-15361) in TPM in an advisory (see my blog post Microsoft Surface: TPM updates, coil whine and LTE image<\/a>). <\/p>\n

At German site Dr. Windows I just read<\/a>, that the CVE-2017-15361 vulnerability within the Surface Pro 3 TPM chips could cause attackers to bypass cryptographic functions and grab keys for bitlockers, PGP, YubiKey, or disk encryption in Chrome OS.  <\/p>\n

To find out exactly which Infineon TPM chips are affected by CVE-2017-15361, please visit this website<\/a>. For affected devices, the device manufacturers probably provide a firmware update for the TPM chip. Microsoft has done this for Surface Pro 3, but the TPM update will probably have to be installed manually.<\/p>\n

Microsoft has published KB4073006<\/a> about updating the TPM on Surface devices on Jun 2018. There is also an article Install and use the Surface Pro 3 Trusted Platform Module (TPM) update tool<\/a> from July 2018, that addresses this topic. German MVP and blogger Ralf Eiberger has also a (German) blog post TPM Update beim Surface Pro 3<\/a> (Google Translate<\/a>), describing in detail, how to update TPM on a Surface Pro 3. <\/p>\n
