CVE-2021-21571 Dell UEFI BIOS https stack contains an incorrect certificate validation vulnerability.

In a Dell laptop running Dell EMC-managed ESX 4. 0 ESX5, a Dell system BIOS can be a very expensive mistake. It can be exploited in numerous ways and can cause a very expensive loss of data. While this vulnerability has been known for some time, the severity of the problem was not thought to be very high until our incident response team was notified.

The vulnerability was discovered by the public security response team of the IT Security Response Team (IRT), and was announced by the IT Security Risk Management Program (ISRM) blog on Monday, February 20, 2019. At that time, the vulnerability was reported to ITU-T in the form of a Security Advisory.

The Dell Latitude E450 laptop running ESX 4. 1 was a part of the Dell EMC Solution Suite (ESXs), and was a part of Dell’s Enterprise Virtualized Infrastructure (Eviit). The laptop was the final stage in a delivery of virtualized infrastructure hardware, and the entire delivery was managed using Dell’s internal infrastructure management software. This was not a new device which had previously been publicly disclosed.

At the time of detection, the hardware had been patched with the Dell-provided BIOS patch set, which resulted in a BIOS update being conducted within the vendor’s update window.

The vulnerability in the BIOS was to a common patch which could be applied by an attacker using the existing VMware software tools. A patch was available from the manufacturer in November 2017, and updated versions of VMware software are now available.

The Dell laptop’s ESXi host, Dell HV4HDR, was running ESXi 5. 5, running Version 5. 2 of the Dell ESXi 4 Update. The ESXi host was also an EViit system, and was updated to the current version in December 2017. The Dell EP2-QX4 server running Version 5.

Flashing BIOS from the F12 One-Time Boot Menu: Workarounds and Mitigations

Description: Flashing BIOS from the F12 One-Time Boot Menu: Workarounds and Mitigations – Computer Security | Security Research Department, Internet Technologies & Technology, Computer Systems Centre (CSC), University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, South Africa.

Background: Flashing the BIOS configuration to the “One-Time Boot” menu of a computer after the reset of a computer’s internal firmware can cause damage to a computer or its operating system (OS). One way to overcome this is to use the BIOS boot-loader in the “f12” mode, which, unlike the “f15” and “f22” modes, does not cause a hardware reset of the computer. This mode can be used with a computer equipped with a computer board comprising two or more identical boards.

For example, if a computer has two computers identical to each other, each of which has the “f22” mode, the computer with the first board (PC) will have a BIOS that can boot into the first computer’s OS, while the computer with the second board (PC2), can boot into the second computer’s OS, so that the second computer is not affected by the first computer’s BIOS.

The security problem is twofold. First, the computer’s OS can be affected without the computer being reset, since the second BIOS will take the place of the first computer’s BIOS. Second, the BIOS itself can still be damaged if the operating system is damaged.

The problem is that all the computers to which the two boards are connected will have the same BIOS, since, in the “f22” mode, there is no “f12″ option to select a different OS. Therefore, if a computer of PC2 is damaged, a computer of PC will be too, and if a computer of PC2 is also damaged, a computer of PC will be too.
