Intel® CSME, Intel® SPS, Intel® TXE, Intel® DAL, and Intel® AMT 2019.1 QSR Advisory
Intel ID:
INTEL-SA-00213
Advisory Category:
Firmware, Software
Impact of vulnerability:
Escalation of Privilege, Denial of Service, Information Disclosure
Severity rating:
HIGH
Original release:

An issue was discovered in Insyde InsydeH2O with kernel 5.0 through 5.5. An SMM callout vulnerability in the SMM driver in UsbLegacyControlSmm leads to possible arbitrary code execution in SMM and escalation of privileges. An attacker could overwrite the function pointers in the EFI_BOOT_SERVICES table before the USB SMI handler triggers. (This is not exploitable from code running in the operating system.)
