- The PXE-Base Code driver contains a 16-year-old buffer overflow that can write ICMP data beyond its 504-byte field.
- Attackers need access to a local network and must act during PXE boot; the flaw has not been shown to provide initial network access.
- Affected systems use EDK2 with PXE network boot enabled; devices that boot only from drives are not affected.
- Affected organizations should seek guidance from their firmware maker and consider temporarily disabling network boot if possible.
An attacker intent on compromising a nearby endpoint or server could use this bug to hijack program flow at a point where the boot process still has access to sensitive components, like the endpoint’s TPM. This could be used to break disk encryption for cases where an attacker has short-term network access (and it would be even easier in a theft scenario).— HD Moore, creator of Metasploit and chief research officer at security firm Dragos, discussing the potential consequences of the UEFI vulnerability.
