CVE-2022-40250
An attacker can exploit this vulnerability to elevate privileges from ring 0 to ring -2, execute arbitrary code in System Management Mode - an environment more privileged than operating system (OS) and completely isolated from it. Running arbitrary code in SMM additionally bypasses SMM-based SPI flash protections against modifications, which can help an attacker to install a firmware backdoor/implant into BIOS. Such a malicious firmware code in BIOS could persist across operating system re-installs.

"value": "Un atacante puede explotar esta vulnerabilidad para elevar privilegios del anillo 0 al anillo -2, ejecutar código arbitrario en el Modo de Administración del Sistema - un entorno más privilegiado que el sistema operativo (SO) y completamente aislado de él. Una ejecución de código arbitrario en el SMM también evita las protecciones de la flash SPI basadas en el SMM contra las modificaciones, lo que puede ayudar a un atacante a instalar una puerta trasera/implante de firmware en la BIOS. Dicho código de firmware malicioso en la BIOS podría persistir a través de las reinstalaciones del sistema operativo. Además, esta vulnerabilidad podría ser usada por actores maliciosos para omitir los mecanismos de seguridad proporcionados por el firmware UEFI (por ejemplo, Secure Boot y algunos tipos de aislamiento de memoria para hipervisores).
