2) Out-of-bounds Write
EUVDB-ID: #VU32922
Risk: Low
CVSSv4.0: 5.2 [CVSS:4.0/AV:P/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:P/U:Clear]
CVE-ID: CVE-2020-10713
CWE-ID:
CWE-787 - Out-of-bounds write
Exploit availability: Yes
Description
The vulnerability allows a local attacker to compromise vulnerable system.
The vulnerability exists due to a "BootHole" issue. An attacker with physical access can install persistent and stealthy bootkits or malicious bootloaders, trigger out-of-bounds write and execute arbitrary code on the target system.
