AMI APTIOV contains a vulnerability in BIOS where an attacker may cause an Improper Input Validation by a local attacker. Successful exploitation of these vulnerabilities may lead to overwriting arbitrary memory and execute arbitrary code at SMM level, also impacting Confidentiality, Integrity, and Availability.

An attacker can exploit this vulnerability to elevate privileges from ring 0 to ring -2, execute arbitrary code in System Management Mode - an environment more privileged than operating system (OS) and completely isolated from it. Running arbitrary code in SMM additionally bypasses SMM-based SPI flash protections against modifications, which can help an attacker to install a firmware backdoor/implant into BIOS. Such a malicious firmware code in BIOS could persist across operating system re-installs. Additionally, this vulnerability potentially could be used by malicious actors to bypass security mechanisms provided by UEFI firmware (for example, Secure Boot and some types of memory isolation for hypervisors). This issue affects: Module name: SmmSmbiosElog SHA256: 3a8acb4f9bddccb19ec3b22b22ad97963711550f76b27b606461cd5073a93b59 Module GUID: 8e61fd6b-7a8b-404f-b83f-aa90a47cabdf This issue affects: AMI Aptio 5.x. This issue affects: AMI Aptio 5.x.

A potential attacker can execute an arbitrary code at the time of the PEI phase and influence the subsequent boot stages. This can lead to the mitigations bypassing, physical memory contents disclosure, discovery of any secrets from any Virtual Machines (VMs) and bypassing memory isolation and confidential computing boundaries. Additionally, an attacker can build a payload which can be injected into the SMRAM memory.

APTIOV contains vulnerabilities in the BIOS where a privileged user may cause “Write-what-where Condition” and “Exposure of Sensitive Information to an Unauthorized Actor” through local access. The successful exploitation of these vulnerabilities can lead to information disclosure, arbitrary data writing, and impact Confidentiality, Integrity, and Availability.
