CVE-2026-25194: Denial of Service in Intel(R) Slim Bootloader may allow a denial of service. System software adversary with a privileged user combined with a low complexity attack may enable denial of service. This result may potentially occur via local access when attack requirements are present without special internal knowledge and requires no user interaction. The potential vulnerability may impact the confidentiality (none), integrity (none) and availability (low) of the vulnerable system,
CVE-2026-25194 is a low-severity denial of service vulnerability in the Intel Slim Bootloader firmware. It involves an out-of-bounds write that may be triggered by a privileged local attacker with low complexity and no user interaction. The vulnerability impacts system availability but does not affect confidentiality or integrity. No patch or official remediation information is currently available.
