CVE-2025-20105

Improper input validation in some UEFI firmware SMM module for the Intel(R) reference platforms may allow an escalation of privilege. System software adversary with a privileged user combined with a low complexity attack may enable local code execution. This result may potentially occur via local access when attack requirements are present without special internal knowledge and requires no user interaction. The potential vulnerability may impact the confidentiality (high), integrity (high) and availability (high) of the vulnerable system, resulting in subsequent system confidentiality (high), integrity (high) and availability (high) impacts.

Summary		(es) La validación de entrada incorrecta en algún módulo SMM de firmware UEFI para las plataformas de referencia Intel(R) puede permitir una escalada de privilegios. Un adversario de software del sistema con un usuario privilegiado combinado con un ataque de baja complejidad puede habilitar la ejecución de código local. Este resultado puede ocurrir potencialmente a través de acceso local cuando los requisitos de ataque están presentes sin conocimiento interno especial y no requiere interacción del usuario. La vulnerabilidad potencial puede impactar la confidencialidad (alta), la integridad (alta) y la disponibilidad (alta) del sistema vulnerable, resultando en impactos subsiguientes en la confidencialidad (alta), la integridad (alta) y la disponibilidad (alta) del sistema.
