Advisory Description
INSYDE-SA-2022/Q1: 2022/Q1 ISA – Insyde® Firmware (InsydeH2O UEFI-BIOS) Advisory
Multiple potential security vulnerabilities in the Insyde® InsydeH2O Hardware-2-Operating System (H2O) UEFI firmware (Insyde® InsydeH2O UEFI-BIOS) may allow for the compromise of confidentiality, integrity and availability. The detailed description of the vulnerabilities with at least a medium, high or critical CVSS base score is as follows:- CVE-2020-5953: A vulnerability exists in System Management Interrupt (SWSMI) handler of InsydeH2O UEFI Firmware code located in SWSMI handler that dereferences gRT (EFI_RUNTIME_SERVICES) pointer to call a GetVariable service, which is located outside of SMRAM. This can result in code execution in SMM (escalating privilege from ring 0 to ring -2). It affects the driver AsfSecureBootSmm.
- CVE-2021-33625: SMM memory corruption vulnerability in combined DXE/SMM driver on BullSequana Edge server. The vulnerability exists in SW SMI handler registered with GUID `9c28be0c-ee32-43d8-a223-e7c1614ef7ca` and located at offset `0x23B0` in the driver. This affects the HddPassword driver.
- CVE-2021-33626: A vulnerability exists in SMM (System Management Mode) branch that registers a SWSMI handler that does not sufficiently check or validate the allocated buffer pointer (QWORD values for CommBuffer). This can be used by an attacker to corrupt data in SMRAM memory and even lead to arbitrary code execution. It affects the driver SmmResourceCheckDxe.
- CVE-2021-33627: A vulnerability exists in SMM (System Management Mode) branch that registers a SWSMI handler that does not sufficiently check or validate the allocated buffer pointer (CommBuffer). This can be used by an attacker to corrupt data in SMRAM memory and even lead to arbitrary code execution. It affects the driver FwBlockServiceSmm.
- CVE-2021-41837: An unsafe pointer vulnerability exists in SMM (System Management Mode) branch that registers a SWSMI handler. An attacker can use this unsafe pointer "current_ptr" to read or write or manipulate data into SMRAM. Exploitation of this vulnerability can lead to escalation of privileges reserved only for SMM using the SwSMI handler. It affects the AhciBusDxe driver.
- CVE-2021-41838: An unsafe pointer vulnerability exists in SMM (System Management Mode) branch that registers a SWSMI handler. An attacker can use this unsafe pointer "ptr" to read or write or manipulate data in the SMRAM. Exploitation of this vulnerability can lead to escalation of privileges reserved only for SMM using the SwSMI handler. It affects the driver NvmExpressDxe driver.
- CVE-2021-41839: A vulnerability exists in SMM (System Management Mode) branch that registers a SWSMI handler that does not sufficiently check or validate the allocated table variable EFI_BOOT_SERVICES. This can be used by an attacker to overwrite address location of any of the functions (FreePool, LocateHandleBuffer, HandleProtocol) to the address location of arbitrary code controlled by the attacker. On system call to SWSMI handler, the arbitrary code can be triggered to execute. It affects the driver NvmExpressDxe.
- CVE-2021-41840: A vulnerability exists in SMM (System Management Mode) branch that registers a SWSMI handler that does not sufficiently check or validate the allocated table variable EFI_BOOT_SERVICES. This allows an attacker who is capable of executing code in DXE phase to exploit this vulnerability to escalate privileges to SMM. The attacker can overwrite the LocateProtocol or Freepool memory address location to execute unwanted code. It affects the driver SdHostDriver.
- CVE-2021-41841: A vulnerability exists in SMM (System Management Mode) branch that registers a SWSMI handler that does not sufficiently check or validate the allocated table variables EFI_BOOT_SERVICES and EFI_RUNTIME_SERVICES. This can be used by an attacker to overwrite address location of the function (LocateHandleBuffer) to the address location of arbitrary code controlled by the attacker. On system call to SWSMI handler, the arbitrary code can be triggered to execute. It affects the driver AhciBusDxe.
- CVE-2021-42059: The stack buffer overflow vulnerability leads to arbitrary code execution in UEFI DXE driver on BullSequana Edge server. This affects the DisplayTypeDxe driver.
- CVE-2021-42060: SMM callout vulnerability in combined DXE/SMM driver on BullSequana Edge server. The vulnerability exists in SW SMI handler registered with number 0xF9 and located at offset 0x06F0 in the driver. This affects the Int15ServiceSmm driver.
- CVE-2021-42113: SMM callout vulnerability in combined DXE/SMM driver on BullSequana Edge server. The vulnerability exists in child SW SMI handler registered with GUID `1d3de7f0-0807-424f-aa69-11a54e19a46f` and located at offset `0x1E0C` in the driver. It affects the StorageSecurityCommandDxe driver.
- CVE-2021-42554: SMM memory corruption vulnerability in combined DXE/SMM driver on BullSequana Edge server. The vulnerability exists in SW SMI handler registered with number `0x16` and located at offset `0x3DBC` in the driver. This affects the FvbServicesRuntimeDxe driver.
- CVE-2021-43323: SMM callout vulnerability in combined DXE/SMM driver on BullSequana Edge server. The vulnerability exists in SW SMI handler registered with number `0xFD` and located at offset `0x291C` in the driver. This affects the UsbCoreDxe driver.
- CVE-2021-43522: SMM memory corruption vulnerability in combined DXE/SMM driver on BullSequana Edge server. The vulnerability exists in child SW SMI handler registered with GUID `1d3de7f0-0807-424f-aa69-11a54e19a46f` and located at offset `0x1E0C` in the driver.
- CVE-2021-43615: SMM callout vulnerability in combined DXE/SMM driver on BullSequana Edge server. The vulnerability exists in SW SMI handler registered with GUID `9c28be0c-ee32-43d8-a223-e7c1614ef7ca` and located at offset `0x23B0` in the driver. This affects the HddPassword driver.
- CVE-2021-45969: A vulnerability exists in SMM (System Management Mode) branch that registers a SWSMI handler that does not sufficiently check or validate the allocated buffer pointer (CommBuffer + 8 location). This can be used by an attacker to corrupt data in SMRAM memory and even lead to arbitrary code execution. It affects the driver AhciBusDxe.
- CVE-2021-45971: A vulnerability exists in SMM (System Management Mode) branch that registers a SWSMI handler that does not sufficiently check or validate the allocated buffer pointer (CommBufferData). This can be used by an attacker to corrupt data in SMRAM memory and even lead to arbitrary code execution. It affects the driver SdHostDriver.
- CVE-2022-24030: SMM memory corruption vulnerability in combined DXE/SMM driver on BullSequana Edge server. The vulnerability exists in child SW SMI handler registered with GUID `56947330-585c-4470-a95d-c55c529feb47` and located at offset `0x1328` in the driver. This affects the AhciBusDxe driver.
- CVE-2022-24031: SMM memory corruption vulnerability in combined DXE/SMM driver on BullSequana Edge server. The vulnerability exists in SW SMI handler registered with GUID `52c78312-8edc-4233-98f2-1a1aa5e388a5` and located at offset `0x2090` in the driver. This affects the NvmExpressDxe driver.
- CVE-2022-24069: SMM callout vulnerability in combined DXE/SMM driver on BullSequana Edge server. The vulnerability exists in child SW SMI handler registered with GUID `56947330-585c-4470-a95d-c55c529feb47` and located at offset `0x1328` in the driver.
- CVE-2022-28806: A vulnerability exists in SMM (System Management Mode) branch that registers a SWSMI handler that does not sufficiently check or validate the allocated buffer pointer (CommBuffer). This can be used by an attacker to corrupt data in SMRAM memory and even lead to arbitrary code execution. It affects the driver FjGabiFlashCoreAbstractionSmm.
