Published Apr 10, 2019 lenovo CWE-667 EPSS 0.24% (15th pctl)

Overview

CVE-2019-6156 is a low-severity vulnerability affecting lenovo 510-15ikl_firmware. It was published on April 10, 2019 and has a CVSS 3.0 base score of 3.3 (LOW).

This vulnerability has a CVSS 3.0 base score of 3.3, rated LOW. It requires local or adjacent network access to exploit. Some level of privileges is required for exploitation.

Technical Description

In Lenovo systems, SMM BIOS Write Protection is used to prevent writes to SPI Flash. While this provides sufficient protection, an additional layer of protection is provided by SPI Protected Range Registers (PRx). Lenovo was notified that after resuming from S3 sleep mode in various versions of BIOS for Lenovo systems, the PRx is not set. This does not impact the SMM BIOS Write Protection, which keeps systems protected.

Remediation

Check the references section for vendor advisories and patches from lenovo. Update 510-15ikl_firmware to the latest patched version. If immediate patching is not possible, review the CVSS vector to understand the attack surface and apply compensating controls such as network segmentation or access restrictions.
