Descriptions

EDK2's Network Package is susceptible to a predictable TCP Initial Sequence Number. This
vulnerability can be exploited by an attacker to gain unauthorized
access and potentially lead to a loss of Confidentiality.

EDK2's Network Package es susceptible a Initial Sequence Number TCP predecible. Un atacante puede aprovechar esta vulnerabilidad para obtener acceso no autorizado y potencialmente provocar una pérdida de confidencialidad.

A security flaw has been identified in the cryptographic system of EDK2, the open-source reference implementation of the UEFI specification. This vulnerability enables an unauthorized remote attacker to potentially expose sensitive information.
