Detailsinfo

A vulnerability was found in AMD EPYC 7003 Processors, EPYC 9004 Processors, Instinct MI300A, Ryzen 3000 Desktop Processors, Ryzen 5000 Desktop Processors, Ryzen 5000 Desktop Processor with Radeon Graphics, Ryzen 7000 Desktop Processors, Athlon 3000 Desktop Processors with Radeon Graphics, Ryzen 4000 Desktop Processor with Radeon Graphics, Ryzen 8000 Processor with Radeon Graphics, Ryzen Threadripper PRO 5000WX- Desktop Processors, Athlon 3000 Mobile Processors with Radeon Graphics, Ryzen 3000 Mobile Processor with Radeon Graphics, Ryzen 4000 Mobile Processors with Radeon Graphics, Ryzen 5000 Processors with Radeon Graphics, Ryzen 7020 Processors with Radeon Graphics, Ryzen 6000 Processor with Radeon Graphics, Ryzen 7035 Processor with Radeon Graphics, Ryzen 7040 Processors with Radeon Graphics, Ryzen 7000 Mobile Processors, EPYC Embedded 7003, EPYC Embedded 9004, Ryzen Embedded R1000, Ryzen Embedded R2000, Ryzen Embedded 5000, Ryzen Embedded 7000, Ryzen Embedded V2000 and Ryzen Embedded V3000. It has been rated as critical. This issue affects some unknown functionality of the component SMM Handler. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a input validation vulnerability. Using CWE to declare the problem leads to CWE-1220. The product implements access controls via a policy or other feature with the intention to disable or restrict accesses (reads and/or writes) to assets in a system from untrusted agents. However, implemented access controls lack required granularity, which renders the control policy too broad because it allows accesses from unauthorized agents to the security-sensitive assets. Impacted is confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The summary by CVE is:

Improper input validation in the SMM handler may allow a privileged attacker to overwrite SMRAM, potentially leading to arbitrary code execution.

It is possible to read the advisory at amd.com. The identification of this vulnerability is CVE-2023-31342 since 04/27/2023. The exploitation is known to be difficult. Attacking locally is a requirement. The exploitation needs additional levels of successful authentication. The technical details are unknown and an exploit is not publicly available.

Upgrading eliminates this vulnerability.

The vulnerability is also documented in the vulnerability database at EUVD (EUVD-2023-35653). Statistical analysis made it clear that VulDB provides the best quality for vulnerability data.
