SB2021061712 - Multiple vulnerabilities in Intel CSME, SPS and LMS

Description

This security bulletin contains information about 6 vulnerabilities.

1) Permissions, Privileges, and Access Controls (CVE-ID: CVE-2020-24509)

CWE-ID: CWE-264 - Permissions, Privileges, and Access Controls

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:H/UI:N/VC:L/VI:H/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear

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

The vulnerability exists due to insufficient control flow management in subsystem, which leads to security restrictions bypass and privilege escalation.

2) Race condition (CVE-ID: CVE-2020-8704)

CWE-ID: CWE-362 - Concurrent Execution using Shared Resource with Improper Synchronization ('Race Condition')

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:H/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear

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

The vulnerability exists due to a race condition in subsystem. A local administrator can exploit the race and gain unauthorized access to sensitive information and escalate privileges on the system.

3) Information disclosure (CVE-ID: CVE-2020-24507)

CWE-ID: CWE-200 - Exposure of sensitive information to an unauthorized actor

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:H/UI:N/VC:H/VI:N/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear

The vulnerability allows a local user to gain access to potentially sensitive information.

The vulnerability exists due to improper initialization in a subsystem. A local administrator can gain unauthorized access to sensitive information on the system.

4) Permissions, Privileges, and Access Controls (CVE-ID: CVE-2020-24516)

CWE-ID: CWE-264 - Permissions, Privileges, and Access Controls

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:P/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:H/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear

The vulnerability allows an attacker with physical access to escalate privileges on the system.

The vulnerability exists due to modification of assumed-immutable data in subsystem, which leads to security restrictions bypass and privilege escalation.

5) Buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2020-8703)

CWE-ID: CWE-119 - Memory corruption

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:H/UI:N/VC:L/VI:H/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear

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

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error in a subsystem. A local administrator can trigger memory corruption and gain elevated privileges on the target system.

6) Out-of-bounds read (CVE-ID: CVE-2020-24506)

CWE-ID: CWE-125 - Out-of-bounds read

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:H/UI:N/VC:H/VI:N/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear

The vulnerability allows a local user to gain access to potentially sensitive information.

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary condition in a subsystem. A local administrator can trigger out-of-bounds read error and read contents of memory on the system.
