The version of the Intel BIOS on the remote device is affected by two privilege escalation vulnerabilities, as follows:
Improper buffer restrictions in the firmware for Intelยฎ Server Board M10JNP2SB before version 7.210 may allow a privileged user to potentially enable escalation of privilege via local access. (CVE-2020-8733)
Improper input validation in the firmware for Intelยฎ Server Board M10JNP2SB before version 7.210 may allow a privileged user to potentially enable escalation of privilege via local access. (CVE-2020-8734)
Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the self-reported version number.
