Summary:
A security vulnerability in the Intel® Ethernet Controller X710, Intel® Ethernet Controller XL710 family of products (Fortville) and Intel® Ethernet Connection X722 has been found in the Non-Volatile Flash Memory (NVM) image.
Description:
A security vulnerability in the Intel® Ethernet Controller X710 and Intel® Ethernet Controller XL710 family of products (Fortville) and Intel® Ethernet Connection X722 has been found in the Non-Volatile Flash Memory (NVM) image. Under certain use conditions the Ethernet controller will stop sending and receiving data until the controller is reset. For Intel® Ethernet Controller X710 and Intel® Ethernet Controller XL710 family of products (Fortville), all NVM versions 5.04 and earlier contain this vulnerability which is fully mitigated in NVM version 5.05. For Intel® Ethernet Connection X722, NVM version 4.0 and later has eliminated this vulnerability.
This exploit rates a CVSSv3 ranking of 7.5 High. CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H
