Security Summary

CVE-2023-48267 involves improper buffer restrictions (CWE-119) in some Intel(R) System Security Report and System Resources Defense firmware. Published on 2025-02-12, this vulnerability carries a CVSS v3.1 base score of 7.9 (AV:L/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:N), indicating high severity due to its potential for significant confidentiality and integrity impacts.

A privileged user (PR:H) with local access (AV:L) can exploit the vulnerability with low complexity (AC:L) and no user interaction (UI:N). Successful exploitation may enable escalation of privilege, leveraging the changed scope (S:C) to achieve high confidentiality (C:H) and integrity (I:H) impacts without affecting availability (A:N).

Intel Security Advisory INTEL-SA-01203 and Dell Security Advisory DSA-2025-002 provide details on the issue, including mitigation guidance such as firmware updates for affected systems.
