Potential Impact
An attacker could exploit this vulnerability to elevate privileges from ring 0 to ring -2 and execute arbitrary code in System Management Mode, an environment more privileged than and completely isolated from the operating system (OS). Running arbitrary code in SMM also bypasses SMM-based SPI flash protections against modification, which can help an attacker to install a firmware backdoor/implant. Such malicious code in the firmware could persist through operating system reinstallations. In addition, this vulnerability could potentially be used by malicious actors to bypass security mechanisms provided by UEFI firmware, such as Secure Boot and some types of memory isolation for hypervisors.
