I frequently check the MSI update page for my particular motherboard every few days or so & only today did I see an update for my Z590 board with this bios description - " Update Intel Micro code for security vulnerabilities" although its back dated to 19th April...
A random check of other vendor Z590 based motherboards also shows Asrock doing the same thing one of their boards (although no bios description is available!) & Asus did it too with a certain model of their Z590 range of boards but dated 24th March, although each vendor does it at different times obviously. This is a curious problem & either there is a security problem affecting all Z590 based chipset boards across the entire range or not. I don't know about other Intel chipset boards, have no personal interest in them.
So I'd suggest anyone with any late model Intel chipset based motherboard to be checking up on BIOS updates if they are concerned with security issues.
