Description
Out-of-bounds write in the UEFI firmware for the Intel(R) Slim Bootloader within Ring 0: Bare Metal OS may allow an escalation of privilege. Startup code and smm adversary with an unauthenticated user combined with a low complexity attack may enable escalation of privilege. This result may potentially occur via physical access when attack requirements are not present without special internal knowledge and requires no user interaction. The potential vulnerability may impact the confidentiality (high), integrity (high) and availability (high) of the vulnerable system, resulting in subsequent system confidentiality (high), integrity (high) and availability (high) impacts.
