Bulletin ID: AMD-SB-3002 **Potential Impact:**Varies by CVE, see descriptions below Severity: Varies by CVE, see descriptions below

Summary

Potential vulnerabilities in the AMD Secure Processor (ASP), AMD System Management Unit (SMU), AMD Secure Encrypted Virtualization (SEV), AMD Secure Encrypted Virtualization – Secure Nested Paging (SEV-SNP) and other platform components were discovered and mitigations have been provided in AMD EPYC™ Platform Initialization (PI) firmware packages.

Please refer to your OEM for the BIOS update specific to your product.

CVE Details

Refer to Glossary for explanation of terms

CVE Severity CVE Description
CVE-2022-23820 High Failure to validate the AMD SMM communication buffer may allow an attacker to corrupt the SMRAM potentially leading to arbitrary code execution.
CVE-2021-46774 Medium Insufficient input validation in ABL may enable a privileged attacker with the ability to write to the boot image to perform arbitrary DRAM writes, potentially resulting in code execution and privilege escalation.
CVE-2023-20519 Medium A Use-After-Free vulnerability in the management of an SNP guest context page may allow a malicious hypervisor to masquerade as the guest’s migration agent resulting in a potential loss of guest integrity.
CVE-2023-20533 Medium Insufficient DRAM address validation in System Management Unit (SMU) may allow an attacker to read/write from/to an invalid DRAM address, potentially resulting in denial-of-service.
CVE-2023-20566 Medium Improper address validation in ASP with SNP enabled may potentially allow an attacker to compromise guest memory integrity.
CVE-2021-26345 Low Failure to validate the value in APCB may allow a privileged attacker to tamper with the APCB token to force an out-of-bounds memory read potentially resulting in a denial of service.
CVE-2021-46766 Low Improper clearing of sensitive data in the ASP Bootloader may expose secret keys to a privileged attacker accessing ASP SRAM, potentially leading to a loss of confidentiality.
CVE-2022-23830 Low SMM configuration may not be immutable, as intended, when SNP is enabled resulting in a potential limited loss of guest memory integrity.
CVE-2023-20521 Low TOCTOU in the ASP Bootloader may allow an attacker with physical access to tamper with SPI ROM records after memory content verification, potentially leading to loss of confidentiality or a denial of service.
CVE-2023-20526 Low Insufficient input validation in the ASP Bootloader may enable a privileged attacker with physical access to expose the contents of ASP memory potentially leading to a loss of confidentiality.

Specific CVSS scores may change subject to your implementation. We encourage you to calculate CVSS scores independently for your system.
