Improper access controls on several Android components in the Lenovo Service Framework application can be exploited to enable remote code execution.

A privilege escalation vulnerability was identified in Lenovo Active Protection System for ThinkPad systems versions earlier than 1.82.0.17. An attacker with local privileges could execute code with administrative privileges via an unquoted service path.

Some Lenovo brand notebook systems do not have write protections properly configured in the system BIOS. This could enable an attacker with physical or administrative access to a system to be able to flash the BIOS with an arbitrary image and potentially run malicious BIOS code.

Lenovo System Update (formerly ThinkVantage System Update) before 5.07.0013 allows local users to submit commands to the System Update service (SUService.exe) and gain privileges by launching signed Lenovo executables.

A vulnerability has been identified in some Lenovo products that use UEFI (BIOS) code developed by American Megatrends, Inc. (AMI). With this vulnerability, conditions exist where an attacker with administrative privileges or physical access to a system may be able to run specially crafted code that can allow them to bypass system protections such as Device Guard and Hyper-V.

An industry-wide vulnerability has been identified in the implementation of the Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) routing protocol used on some Lenovo switches. Exploitation of these implementation flaws may result in attackers being able to erase or alter the routing tables of one or many routers, switches, or other devices that support OSPF within a routing domain.

The backend service process in Lenovo Solution Center (aka LSC) before 3.3.0002 allows local users to gain SYSTEM privileges via unspecified vectors.

An unquoted service path vulnerability was identified in the driver for the ThinkPad Compact USB Keyboard with TrackPoint versions earlier than 1.5.5.0. This could allow an attacker with local privileges to execute code with administrative privileges.

On Lenovo VIBE mobile phones, the Lenovo Security Android application allows private data to be backed up and restored via Android Debug Bridge, which allows tampering leading to privilege escalation in conjunction with CVE-2017-3748 and CVE-2017-3749.

On Lenovo VIBE mobile phones, the Idea Friend Android application allows private data to be backed up and restored via Android Debug Bridge, which allows tampering leading to privilege escalation in conjunction with CVE-2017-3748 and CVE-2017-3750.

On Lenovo VIBE mobile phones, improper access controls on the nac_server component can be abused in conjunction with CVE-2017-3749 and CVE-2017-3750 to elevate privileges to the root user (commonly known as 'rooting' or "jail breaking" a device).

Privilege escalation vulnerability in Lenovo Nerve Center for Windows 10 on Desktop systems (Lenovo Nerve Center for notebook systems is not affected) that could allow an attacker with local privileges on a system to alter registry keys.

ThinkPad USB 3.0 Ethernet Adapter (part number 4X90E51405) driver, various versions, was found to contain a privilege escalation vulnerability that could allow a local user to execute arbitrary code with administrative or system level privileges.

In Lenovo XClarity Administrator (LXCA) before 1.3.0, if service data is downloaded from LXCA, a non-administrative user may have access to password information for users that have previously authenticated to the LXCA's internal LDAP server, including administrative accounts and service accounts with administrative privileges. This is an issue only for users who have used local authentication with LXCA and not remote authentication against external LDAP or ADFS servers.

In the IMM2 firmware of Lenovo System x servers, remote commands issued by LXCA or other utilities may be captured in the First Failure Data Capture (FFDC) service log if the service log is generated when that remote command is running. Captured command data may contain clear text login information. Authorized users that can capture and export FFDC service log data may have access to these remote commands.

In Lenovo Connect2 versions earlier than 4.2.5.4885 for Windows and 4.2.5.3071 for Android, when an ad-hoc connection is made between two systems for the purpose of sharing files, the password for this ad-hoc connection will be stored in a user-readable location. An attacker with read access to the user's contents could connect to the Connect2 hotspot and see the contents of files while they are being transferred between the two systems.

In the Lenovo Power Management driver before 1.67.12.24, a local user may alter the trackpoint's firmware and stop the trackpoint from functioning correctly. This issue only affects ThinkPad X1 Carbon 5th generation.

In Lenovo Active Protection System before 1.82.0.14, an attacker with local privileges could send commands to the system's embedded controller, which could cause a denial of service attack on the system or the ability to alter hardware functionality.

A vulnerability was identified in Lenovo XClarity Administrator (LXCA) before 1.4.0 where LXCA user account names may be exposed to unauthenticated users with access to the LXCA web user interface. No password information of the user accounts is exposed.

An attacker who obtains access to the location where the LXCA file system is stored may be able to access credentials of local LXCA accounts in LXCA versions earlier than 1.3.2.
