Thankfully, this vulnerability is difficult to exploit and requires hackers to use a different exploit to gain access to the computer's kernel before Sinkclose can be used to access the SMM.

Thank god there was no North Korean hacking group that just got exposed for exploiting zero-days for the past six months that gave them Kernel-level access, right guys?
