PSA--MSI Breaks Secure Boot for Many of Its Motherboards with a Flawed UEFI Update

[plat]

https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/msi-accidentally-breaks-secure-boot-for-hundreds-of-motherboards/

In a nutshell: MSI released a UEFI update named: 7C02v3C that will negate the Secure Boot setting. If that happens, the system will load everything, without checking for vulnerable or unsigned software. It is an improper setting in the firmware (Image Execution Policy) that is set to "Always Execute."

The article explains how to correct this potentially dangerous setting. There are over 290 boards potentially affected, so the article has a site where you can check if yours is affected.

Thanks for the heads-up. I do have one MSI board, the b560m pro wifi. It houses the i3-10320.

Thanks. Between this and having to RMA my board already, I'm starting to not like MSI

[Illusion of Progress]

It really seems like motherboards are a gamble these days. Neither Asus, Gigabyte, or MSI seem to have a firm smooth reputation. I miss when there was more brands than just the big three and Asrock, and really not just for motherboards but for everything.

Throughout the 1980s/1990s and carrying into the 2000s there was an explosion of tech when a lot of companies recently started and rushed to the scene. Through and after the 2000s, oligopoly happened and competition narrowed most sectors (CPUs, GPUs, storage at least with HDDs, motherboards, etc.) down to as little as two options in many cases.

Out of all of them, I think I've had the least problems with my ASrock board which has been in my daughter's machine, trouble free, going on 8-10 years now.

Oh. I am running two PCs with MSI motherboards with secure boot turned off at BIOS because they dual boot Windows with Linux which doesn't work with secure boot (Arch/Manjaro). The only Linux distribution I have tried that works with secure boot is OpenSuse.

I suppose its a reason to keep the Windows and Linux on separate machines.

[Mad Scientist]

Generally speaking, if everything is functional as-is you should never update your BIOS unless it has a secondary bios or a recovery option such as a usb or on-board recovery. Not taking unnecessary risks is far better.

Yes, that is a good point and emphasizes that there are exceptions to every rule.

This is aimed at people who download/install sketchy software, cracks, etc and who are trying to update to Windows 11 and don't understand why their system isn't "compatible."

i normally go to asus/asrock, sometimes gigabyte or msi

if its a super low budget build, i would often price with foxconn/biostar/jetway but give them a lower tier asrock just to save headaches for me ($10 to me isnt much to get them a better board)

[emoticorpse]

dang, I was considering MSI too since I never owned their boards and am not touching ASUS in the meantime. I was probably going to so Gigabyte anyways.

Currently using the MSI B560i ITX. I had to RMA it at 3 months old, got it back, and I'm beginning to suspect it's acting up again.

Also had a MSI 240R AIO. It died after 5 months. I am never again buying MSI.

Man that's crazy. I always assumed MSI was one of the best because everyone was suggesting the Tomohawks. I mean I'm sure they're good but would have assumed their horror stories were a bit harder to run into.

[d3adf1sh]

read something about that earlier. it doesn't "break it" it just turns it off. which a lot of us do anyway. especially if you dual boot linux or any other OS

i've never used secure boot personally. if you need it just turn it back on.
