Privileged code execution via out-of-bounds write
Published Aug 1, 2024 · Updated Aug 1, 2024
Out-of-bounds write in Dell iDRAC Service Module 5.3.0.0 and earlier allows local users with administrative privileges to execute code. Dell identifies an out-of-bounds write but does not publish the affected function, buffer, or untrusted input that exceeds its bounds. Exploitation requires privileged local access and user interaction, with arbitrary code execution and a partial service interruption as the disclosed consequences.
