Descriptions

A write protection lock bit was left unset after boot on an older generation of Lenovo and IBM System x servers, potentially allowing an attacker with administrator access to modify the subset of flash memory containing Intel Server Platform Services (SPS) and the system Flash Descriptors.

Se ha dejado sin establecer un bit de bloqueo de protección de escritura tras el arranque en una generación más antigua de los servidores x de Lenovo y IBM System, lo que podría permitir que un atacante con acceso de administrador modifique el subconjunto de memoria flash que contiene Intel SPS (Server Platform Services) y los descriptores flash del sistema.
