Detailsinfo

A vulnerability, which was classified as problematic, was found in Intel UEFI Reference Platforms (unknown version). Affected is an unknown code block. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a debug code vulnerability. CWE is classifying the issue as CWE-489. The product is deployed to unauthorized actors with debugging code still enabled or active, which can create unintended entry points or expose sensitive information. This is going to have an impact on integrity, and availability. CVE summarizes:

Active debug code for some Intel UEFI reference platforms within Ring 0: Kernel may allow a denial of service and escalation of privilege. System software adversary with a privileged user combined with a low complexity attack may enable data alteration. This result may potentially occur via local access when attack requirements are not present without special internal knowledge and requires no user interaction. The potential vulnerability may impact the confidentiality (none), integrity (high) and availability (high) of the vulnerable system, resulting in subsequent system confidentiality (none), integrity (high) and availability (high) impacts.
