CVE-2009-5151
Last modified
CVE-2009-5151 is a vulnerability of currently unknown severity. The stub component of Absolute Computrace Agent V70.785 executes code from a disk's inter-partition space without requiring a digital signature for that code, which allows attackers to execute code on the BIOS. This allows a privileged local user to achieve persistent control of BIOS behavior, independent of later disk changes.. EPSS estimates a 0.50% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
