An issue was discovered in Insyde InsydeH2O with kernel 5.0 through 5.5. A stack buffer overflow vulnerability in the MebxConfiguration driver leads to arbitrary code execution. Control of a UEFI variable under the OS can cause this overflow when read by BIOS code.
The product writes data past the end, or before the beginning, of the intended buffer.
A stack-based buffer overflow condition is a condition where the buffer being overwritten is allocated on the stack (i.e., is a local variable or, rarely, a parameter to a function).
