Security Bulletin

This security bulletin contains information about 3 vulnerabilities.

1) Improper Initialization

EUVDB-ID: #VU45727

Risk: Low

CVSSv3.1: 6.5 [CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:H/PR:H/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]

CVE-ID: CVE-2020-12301

CWE-ID: CWE-665 - Improper Initialization

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows a local user to escalate privileges on the system.

The vulnerability exists due to improper initialization in BIOS firmware. A local administrator can run a specially crafted application to execute arbitrary code with escalated privileges on the system.

Mitigation

Install updates from vendor's website.

2) Input validation error

EUVDB-ID: #VU45726

Risk: Low

CVSSv3.1: 5.8 [CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:H/PR:H/UI:N/S:C/C:L/I:H/A:L/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]

CVE-ID: CVE-2020-12299

CWE-ID: CWE-20 - Improper input validation

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows a local user to escalate privileges on the system.

The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input in BIOS firmware. A local administrator can pass specially crafted input to the application and gain elevated privileges on the target system.

Mitigation

Install updates from vendor's website.
