Insufficient granularity of access control in UEFI firmware in some Intel(R) processors may allow a authenticated user to potentially enable denial of service via local access.

Product(s) Impacted

Product Versions
Intel UEFI firmware

Weaknesses

CWE-1220
Insufficient Granularity of Access Control
The product implements access controls via a policy or other feature with the intention to disable or restrict accesses (reads and/or writes) to assets in a system from untrusted agents. However, implemented access controls lack required granularity, which renders the control policy too broad because it allows accesses from unauthorized agents to the security-sensitive assets.
