Descriptions

Integer overflow in DxeImageVerificationHandler() EDK II may allow an authenticated user to potentially enable denial of service via local access.

Un desbordamiento de enteros en la función DxeImageVerificationHandler() en EDK II, puede habilitar a un usuario autenticado para permitir potencialmente una denegación de servicio por medio del acceso local

Laszlo Ersek discovered that EDK II incorrectly validated certain signed images. An attacker could possibly use this issue with a specially crafted image to cause EDK II to hang, resulting in a denial of service. This issue only affected Ubuntu 16.04 LTS, Ubuntu 18.04 LTS, and Ubuntu 20.04 LTS. It was discovered that EDK II incorrectly parsed signed PKCS #7 data. An attacker could use this issue to cause EDK II to crash, resulting in a denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary code. Various other issues were also addressed.
