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.

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 has been identified in a signed kernel driver for the BIOS of some ThinkPad systems that can allow an attacker with Windows administrator-level privileges to call System Management Mode (SMM) services. This could lead to a denial of service attack or allow certain BIOS variables or settings to be altered (such as boot sequence). The setting or changing of BIOS passwords is not affected by this vulnerability.

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 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.

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

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.

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.

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.

A potential vulnerability in the SMI callback function used in the Legacy USB driver using boot services structure in runtime phase in some Lenovo ThinkPad models may allow arbitrary code execution.

BIOS Modules Unprotected by Intel Boot Guard Vulnerable to Physical Attack

In some Lenovo ThinkPad products, one BIOS region is not properly included in the checks, allowing injection of arbitrary code.

In some Lenovo ThinkPads, an unquoted search path vulnerability was found in various versions of the Synaptics Pointing Device driver which could allow unauthorized code execution as a low privilege user.
