Last modified
CVE-2021-33625 is a high-severity vulnerability rated 7.5/10 on the CVSS scale. An issue was discovered in Kernel 5.x in Insyde InsydeH2O, affecting HddPassword. Software SMI services that use the Communicate() function of the EFI_SMM_COMMUNICATION_PROTOCOL do not check whether the address of the buffer is valid, which allows use of SMRAM, MMIO, or OS kernel addresses.. EPSS estimates a 0.31% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
