Lifecycle Timeline
1DescriptionNVD
APTIOV contains a vulnerability in the BIOS where a user or attacker may cause an improper restriction of operations within the bounds of a memory buffer over the network. A successful exploitation of this vulnerability may lead to code execution outside of the intended System Management Mode.
AnalysisAI
APTIOV contains a vulnerability in the BIOS where a user or attacker may cause an improper restriction of operations within the bounds of a memory buffer over the network. Rated high severity (CVSS 8.8), this vulnerability is remotely exploitable, low attack complexity. No vendor patch available.
Technical ContextAI
This vulnerability is classified as Buffer Overflow (CWE-119), which allows attackers to corrupt memory to execute arbitrary code or crash the application. APTIOV contains a vulnerability in the BIOS where a user or attacker may cause an improper restriction of operations within the bounds of a memory buffer over the network. A successful exploitation of this vulnerability may lead to code execution outside of the intended System Management Mode. Affected products include: Ami Aptio V.
RemediationAI
No vendor patch is available at time of analysis. Monitor vendor advisories for updates. Use memory-safe languages or bounds-checking. Enable ASLR, DEP/NX, stack canaries. Use safe string functions.
