This one seems weird. PXE-boot is such a fragile process in and off itself this doesn't strike me as end-of-the-world. If an attacker has enough presence on your network to send a targeted ICMP packet, they almost certainly could also fool around with your PXE-booting servers some other way. | ||||||||

Yeah but that just lets them replace the OS that gets booted. This gives the attacker access at the UEFI level and above -- they can use it to produce false attestations. | ||||||||

Except that a sensible deployment of PXE boot would also have the servers attest to their state prior to giving them any secrets. This vulnerability breaks this workflow. | ||||||||
