For Non-Opal products, a workaround for this issue is to use the Block Erase
capability supported by the device in one of the following ways:
1. For affected NVMe devices, the Format NVM command can be used with Secure
Erase Settings set to User Data Erase (001b).
2. For affected NVMe devices that support the Sanitize command, the Sanitize
command can be used with Sanitize Action (SANACT) set to either "Start a
Block Erase sanitize operation" (010b) or "Start an Overwrite sanitize
operation" (011b).
3. For affected SATA devices, the BLOCK ERASE EXT or OVERWRITE EXT commands
can be used.
Acknowledgements:
The following issue was found internally by Intel employees. Intel would like
to thank Ciprian Elies.
Intel, and nearly the entire technology industry, follows a disclosure practice
called Coordinated Disclosure, under which a cybersecurity vulnerability is
generally publicly disclosed only after mitigations are available.
