In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
platform/x86: dell-wmi-sysman: Don't hex dump attribute security buffer
set attribute() populates the security area of the BIOS attribute request buffer with the current admin password via populate security buffer(), then dumps the whole request buffer with print hex dump bytes(). This can expose the plaintext admin password in the kernel log.
The same issue was fixed for the password attribute path by commit d1a196e0a6dc ("platform/x86: dell-wmi-sysman: Don't hex dump plaintext password data"). Remove the remaining dump from the BIOS attribute path.
