Details

An updated amtu package that fixes a bug is now available.

Abstract Machine Test Utility (AMTU) is an administrative utility to check
whether the underlying protection mechanism of the hardware are still being
enforced. This is a requirement of the Controlled Access Protection Profile
FPT_AMT.1.

This updated package addresses the following bug:

* on systems with more than 16GB of memory, amtu mis-detected the available
memory and, consequently, attempted to allocate too much memory for testing.
This caused the test to fail and returned a 'Could not allocate memory'
error.

Users of amtu should upgrade to this updated package, which resolves this
issue.

Solution

Before applying this update, make sure that all previously-released
errata relevant to your system have been applied.
