Vostro 3480 Firmware

Dell BIOS versions contain an Insecure Automated Optimization vulnerability. A local authenticated malicious user could exploit this vulnerability by sending malicious input via SMI to obtain arbitrary code execution during SMM.Show less

Dell BIOS versions contain a stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability. A local attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending malicious input via SMI to bypass security checks resulting in arbitrary code execution in SMM.Show less

Dell BIOS versions contain an Improper Authentication vulnerability. A locally authenticated malicious user could potentially exploit this vulnerability by sending malicious input to an SMI in order to bypass security controls.Show less

Prior Dell BIOS versions contain an Improper Authentication vulnerability. An unauthenticated attacker with physical access to the system could potentially exploit this vulnerability by bypassing drive security mechanisms in order to gain access to the system.Show less

Dell Client Consumer and Commercial platforms include an improper authorization vulnerability in the Dell Manageability interface for which an unauthorized actor, with local system access with OS administrator privileges, could bypass the BIOS Administrator authentication to restore BIOS Setup configuration to default values.Show less

Affected Dell Client platforms contain a BIOS Setup configuration authentication bypass vulnerability in the pre-boot Intel Rapid Storage Response Technology (iRST) Manager menu. An attacker with physical access to the system could perform unauthorized changes to the BIOS Setup configuration settings without requiring the BIOS Admin password by selecting the Optimized Defaults option in the pre-boot iRST Manager.Show less

Dell Client Consumer and Commercial Platforms contain an Arbitrary File Overwrite Vulnerability. The vulnerability is limited to the Dell Firmware Update Utility during the time window while being executed by an administrator. During this time window, a locally authenticated low-privileged malicious user could exploit this vulnerability by tricking an administrator into overwriting arbitrary files via a symlink attack. The vulnerability does not affect the actual binary payload that the update utility delivers.Show less

Select Dell Client Commercial and Consumer platforms contain an Improper Access Vulnerability. An unauthenticated attacker with physical access to the system could potentially bypass intended Secure Boot restrictions to run unsigned and untrusted code on expansion cards installed in the system during platform boot.
