Where can I obtain patches for all of the Intel Management Engine security vulnerabilities?

Where can I obtain patches for all of the known Intel Management Engine security vulnerabilities for my Acer Aspire E5-575G-57D4?

Your support article https://us.answers.acer.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/51890 gives links to security updates for firmware and drivers for Intel Management Engine. However, it seems to be limited to Intel Security Advisory 00086. Although SA-00086 appears to be a cumulative update there have no doubt been more Intel Management Engine vulnerabilities discovered since then. I'm sure there will be more in the future too.

I used the detection tools that I could find from Intel, for vulnerabilities with Intel's Management Engine firmware. Results:

• The SA-00125 detection tool indicates that my system is vulnerable (see Intel SA-00125).
• The Intel CSME Detection Tool (for SA-00213) also indicates that my system is vulnerable (see Intel SA-00213).

Does (or will) Acer have patches for these or any other known Intel Management Engine vulnerabilities? I could not find any.
