January 2022 InsydeH2O Vulnerabilities in NetApp Products

circle-check-alt This advisory should be considered the single source of current, up-to-date, authorized and accurate information from NetApp regarding Full Support products and versions.

Summary

Multiple NetApp products incorporate InsydeH20. Certain InsydeH20 versions are susceptible to vulnerabilities in SMM (System Management Mode) branch that registers a SWSMI handler that does not sufficiently check or validate the allocated buffer pointer (CommBuffer + locations). These can be used by an attacker to corrupt data in SMRAM memory and even lead to arbitrary code execution.

Impact

Successful exploitation of these vulnerabilities could lead to disclosure of sensitive information, addition or modification of data, or Denial of Service (DoS).
