CVE-2015-0949

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions: Dell Latitude E6430 BIOS version A09 HP EliteBook 850 G1 BIOS version L71 Ver. 01.09

Description: The System Management Mode (SMM) implementation in certain BIOS versions does not ensure that function calls operate on SMRAM memory locations. This allows local users to bypass the Secure Boot protection mechanism and gain privileges by leveraging write access to physical memory.

Recommendations: For Dell Latitude E6430 BIOS version A09, update the BIOS to a version that fixes this issue. For HP EliteBook 850 G1 BIOS version L71 Ver. 01.09, update the BIOS to a version that fixes this issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting physical memory access to minimize the risk of exploitation.
