Out-of-Bounds Write in Lenovo ELAN TrackPoint Driver Enables Local Denial of Service

ELAN reported a potential out-of-bounds write vulnerability in the ELAN TrackPoint driver that, under certain circumstances, could allow a local authenticated user to cause a system crash.

During an internal security assessment, a potential vulnerability was discovered in some ThinkPad embedded controller firmware that could allow a privileged local user to perform arbitrary reads or writes to privileged memory regions.

Out‑of‑Bounds Write in Lenovo ThinkPad BIOS Enables System Management Mode Execution

During an internal security assessment, a potential out-of-bounds write vulnerability was discovered in the BIOS of some ThinkPad products could allow a privileged local user to execute code in System Management Mode (SMM).

A local privilege escalation vulnerability was identified in the Realtek audio driver versions prior to 6.0.1.8224 in some Lenovo ThinkPad products. An attacker with local privileges could execute code with administrative privileges.

Realtek Audio Drivers for Windows, as used on the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon 20A7, 20A8, 20BS, and 20BT before 6.0.8882.1 and 20KH and 20KG before 6.0.8907.1 (and on many other Lenovo and non-Lenovo products), mishandles DLL preloading.

A vulnerability was reported in some ThinkPad BIOS that could allow a physical or local attacker with elevated privileges to tamper with BIOS firmware.

A buffer overflow has been identified in the BoardUpdateAcpiDxe driver in some Lenovo ThinkPad products which may allow an attacker with local access and elevated privileges to execute arbitrary code.

A potential vulnerability in the SMI function to access EEPROM in some ThinkPad models may allow an attacker with local access and elevated privileges to execute arbitrary code.

A potential vulnerability in the SMI callback function used in CSME configuration of some Lenovo Notebook and ThinkPad systems could be used to leak out data out of the SMRAM range.

A denial of service vulnerability was reported in some ThinkPad models that could cause a system to crash when the Enhanced Biometrics setting is enabled in BIOS.

A potential vulnerability in the SMI callback function used to access flash device in some ThinkPad models may allow an attacker with local access and elevated privileges to execute arbitrary code.

A null pointer dereference vulnerability in Lenovo Power Management Driver for Windows 10, prior to version 1.67.17.54, that could cause systems to experience a blue screen error.

A privilege escalation vulnerability in Lenovo Power Management Driver for Windows 10, prior to version 1.67.17.54, that could allow unauthorized access to the driver's device object.

An unquoted search path vulnerability was reported in versions prior to 1.0.83.0 of the Synaptics Smart Audio UWP app associated with the DCHU audio drivers on Lenovo platforms that could allow an administrative user to execute arbitrary code.

Lenovo implemented Intel CSME Anti-rollback ARB protections on some ThinkPad models to prevent roll back of CSME Firmware in flash.

A potential vulnerability in the SMI callback function used in the Legacy SD driver in some Lenovo ThinkPad, ThinkStation, and Lenovo Notebook models may allow arbitrary code execution.

An internal shell was included in BIOS image in some ThinkPad models that could allow escalation of privilege.

A potential vulnerability has been reported in Lenovo Power Management Driver versions prior to 1.67.17.48 leading to a buffer overflow which could cause a denial of service.

ThinkPad T460p and T470p BIOS Tamper Mechanism

The BIOS tamper detection mechanism was not triggered in Lenovo ThinkPad T460p, BIOS versions up to R07ET90W, and T470p, BIOS versions up to R0FET50W, which may allow for unauthorized access.

A potential vulnerability in the SMI callback function used in Legacy USB driver using passed parameter without sufficient checking in some Lenovo ThinkPad models may allow arbitrary code execution.
