- Improper input validation in UEFI firmware for some Intel(R) Processors may allow a privileged user to
potentially enable information disclosure via local access. (CVE-2024-28047)
- Improper initialization in UEFI firmware OutOfBandXML module in some Intel(R) Processors may allow a
privileged user to potentially enable information disclosure via local access. (CVE-2024-31157)
- Insufficient granularity of access control in UEFI firmware in some Intel(R) processors may allow a
authenticated user to potentially enable denial of service via local access. (CVE-2024-39279)
