Gigabyte: Severe failures reach UEFI firmware
Researchers have discovered critical vulnerabilities in gigabyte firmware implementations, allowing attackers to disable UEFI safety mechanisms and take control of affected systems. Failures reside in System Management Mode (SMM), a highly privileged CPU mode dealing with low -level operations.
The exploitation of vulnerabilities, tracked as CVE-2025-7026 to CVE-2025-7029, allows the execution of arbitrary code before loading the operating system. This enables writing in memory specified by the attacker and the control of critical flash operations.
An attacker with local or remote administrative privileges can explore these failures to execute arbitrary code on SMM, bypassing operating system protections. Successful exploration can disable UEFI safety mechanisms such as Secure Boot.
Persistent firmware implants, not detected by traditional tools, can be installed, ensuring continuous control over the system. Binarly has identified and reported the failures, warning that these implants may persist even after reinstallation of the operating system.
Gigabyte recognized the flaws and launched firmware updates to solve them. Users should monitor Gigabyte's security site to get update instructions.

Flaws in Gigabyte Firmware Allow Security Bypass, Backdoor Deployment
Vulnerabilities in Gigabyte firmware implementations could allow attackers to disable Secure Boot and execute code during the early boot phase.

Anthropic tightens usage limits for Claude Code — without telling users | TechCrunch
Claude Code users have been hit with unexpectedly restrictive usage limits. The problems, many of which have been aired on Claude Code’s GitHub page, seem to be concentrated among heavy users of the service, many of whom are on the $200-a-month Max plan.

Game theory makes several important distinctions between different types of games, which can greatly affect the nature and complexity of their analysis.
For instance, there are deterministic games (such as chess, Diplomacy, or rock-scissors-paper) in which…
