Red Hat Security Advisory 2024-9088-03 - An update for edk2 is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9. Issues addressed include a denial of service vulnerability.

**According to the CVSS metric, the attack vector is local (AV:L). Why does the CVE title indicate that this is a remote code execution?** The word **Remote** in the title refers to the location of the attacker. This type of exploit is sometimes referred to as Arbitrary Code Execution (ACE). The attack itself is carried out locally. For example, when the score indicates that the **Attack Vector** is **Local** and **User Interaction** is **Required**, this could describe an exploit in which an attacker, through social engineering, convinces a victim to download and open a specially crafted file from a website which leads to a local attack on their computer.

**How could an attacker exploit this vulnerability?** An attacker could exploit the vulnerability by tricking an authenticated user (UI:R) into attempting to connect to a malicious SQL server database via a connection driver (for example: OLE DB or OLEDB as applicable). This could result in the database returning malicious data that could cause arbitrary code execution on the client.
