CVE-2024-21950: CWE-125 Out-of-bounds Read in AMD AMD Instinct™ MI300X
An out of bounds read in the remote management firmware could allow a privileged attacker read a limited section of memory outside of established bounds potentially resulting in loss of confidentiality or availability.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
This vulnerability involves an out-of-bounds read (CWE-125) in the remote management firmware of AMD Instinct™ MI300X devices. A privileged attacker could read memory beyond intended boundaries, potentially exposing sensitive data or causing availability issues. The CVSS 4.0 vector indicates local attack vector, high attack complexity, no privileges required for attack initiation but privileges are required (PR:H), no user interaction, and low impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. No patch or remediation level has been provided by AMD as of the published date.
Potential Impact
The impact is limited to potential loss of confidentiality or availability due to reading memory outside of bounds. Given the low CVSS score and requirement for privileged access, the risk is considered low. There are no reports of exploitation in the wild, and the vulnerability does not affect cloud services.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Since no official fix or mitigation level has been provided by AMD, organizations using AMD Instinct™ MI300X should monitor AMD advisories for updates. Given the requirement for privileged access, restricting administrative access and monitoring for unusual activity may reduce risk until a patch is available.
