The issue concerns the boot layer of ARM chips, which are driving a low-power mobile ecosystem that includes 5G smartphones and base stations.
A buffer over-read vulnerability was reported in the ThinkPadX13s BIOS LenovoRemoteConfigUpdateDxe driver that could allow a local attacker with elevated privileges to cause information disclosure.
A stack overflow flaw was found in the Linux kernel's SYSCTL subsystem in how a user changes certain kernel parameters and variables. This flaw allows a local user to crash or potentially escalate their privileges on the system.
Qualcomm on Tuesday released patches to address multiple security flaws in its chipsets, some of which could be exploited to cause information disclosure and memory corruption. The five vulnerabilities -- tracked from CVE-2022-40516 through CVE-2022-40520 -- also impact Lenovo ThinkPad X13s laptops, prompting the Chinese PC maker to issue BIOS updates to plug the security holes. The list of
A flaw incorrect access control in the Linux kernel USB core subsystem was found in the way user attaches usb device. A local user could use this flaw to crash the system.
A potential security vulnerability has been identified in certain HP Workstation BIOS (UEFI firmware) which may allow arbitrary code execution. HP is releasing firmware mitigations for the potential vulnerability.
A potential vulnerability has been identified in the system BIOS for certain HP PC products which may allow escalation of privileges and code execution. HP is releasing firmware updates to mitigate the potential vulnerability.
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel Traffic Control (TC) subsystem. Using a specific networking configuration (redirecting egress packets to ingress using TC action "mirred") a local unprivileged user could trigger a CPU soft lockup (ABBA deadlock) when the transport protocol in use (TCP or SCTP) does a retransmission, resulting in a denial of service condition.

An attacker with physical access to Moxa's bootloader versions of UC-8580 Series V1.1, UC-8540 Series V1.0 to V1.2, UC-8410A Series V2.2, UC-8200 Series V1.0 to V2.4, UC-8100A-ME-T Series V1.0 to V1.1, UC-8100 Series V1.2 to V1.3, UC-5100 Series V1.2, UC-3100 Series V1.2 to V2.0, UC-2100 Series V1.3 to V1.5, and UC-2100-W Series V1.3 to V1.5 can initiate a restart of the device and gain access to its BIOS. Command line options can then be altered, allowing the attacker to access the terminal. From the terminal, the attacker can modify the device’s authentication files to create a new user and gain full access to the system.
