Dell BIOS versions contain an Unchecked Return Value vulnerability. A local authenticated administrator user could potentially exploit this vulnerability in order to change the state of the system or cause unexpected failures.
The product uses a mechanism that automatically optimizes code, e.g. to improve a characteristic such as performance, but the optimizations can have an unintended side effect that might violate an intended security assumption.
The product does not check the return value from a method or function, which can prevent it from detecting unexpected states and conditions.
