To add to this, while the Superfish issue only affected their consumer laptop lines (e.g. IdeaPad), the LSE issue was found on their enterprise lineup (e.g. ThinkPad).

Wasn't aware of the LSE issue on enterprise models! This is a feature that would get enterprises angry if it messes with the OS by injecting bins full of vulnerabilities from BIOS. Gross!

Only a quick read, but both the lenovo pressroom and the guardian stated the thinkpads were not affected.
