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 release fixes an issue in the memory test for systems with more than
16 GB of memory. It was mis-detecting the amount of available memory and
attempting to allocate too much, which would cause the test to fail.

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