I don't see an actual attack. The article is assuming some
unspecified vulnerability i
A researcher of the french NSA discovered a scary vulnerability in modern x86
cpus and chipsets that expose the kernel to direct tampering.
The problem is that a feature called System Management Mode could be used to
bypass the kernel and execute code at the highest level possible: ring zero.
