CVE-2024-49200 Details
Description
An issue was discovered in AcpiS3SaveDxe and ChipsetSvcDxe in Insyde InsydeH2O with kernel 5.2 though 5.7. A potential DXE memory corruption vulnerability has been identified. The root cause is use of a pointer originating from the value of an NVRAM variable as the target of a write operation. This can be leveraged by an attacker to perform arbitrary writes, potentially leading to arbitrary code execution. The issue has been fixed in kernel 5.2, Version 05.29.44; kernel 5.3, Version 05.38.44; kernel 5.4, Version 05.46.44; kernel 5.5, Version 05.54.44; kernel 5.6, Version 05.61.44; and kernel 5.7, Version 05.70.44.
A memory corruption vulnerability has been identified in the InsydeH2O firmware, specifically within the AcpiS3SaveDxe and ChipsetSvcDxe components, on kernels 5.2 through 5.7. The vulnerability arises from the use of a pointer derived from an NVRAM variable's value as the target for a write operation. This flaw can be exploited to perform arbitrary write operations, potentially leading to arbitrary code execution.
Users can upgrade to InsydeH2O versions 05.29.44 (for kernel 5.2), 05.38.44 (for kernel 5.3), 05.46.44 (for kernel 5.4), 05.54.44 (for kernel 5.5), 05.61.44 (for kernel 5.6), or 05.70.44 (for kernel 5.7).
