Technical details

An out-of-bounds read vulnerability (CWE-125) exists within the AMD Platform Management Framework (PMF). The flaw is triggered when the component fails to properly validate memory boundaries during read operations. A local attacker with low privileges can exploit this to read arbitrary memory locations. Successful exploitation can result in the disclosure of sensitive information (loss of confidentiality) or a system crash (loss of availability). The attack requires local access and is categorized with a CVSS 4.0 base score of 5.8.
