CVE-2015-2890
Dell Latitude, OptiPlex, Precision Mobile Workstation, and Precision Workstation Client Solutions BIOS EFI Flash Attack
Description

The BIOS implementation on Dell Latitude, OptiPlex, Precision Mobile Workstation, and Precision Workstation Client Solutions (CS) devices with model-dependent firmware before A21 does not enforce a BIOS_CNTL locking protection mechanism upon being woken from sleep, which allows local users to conduct EFI flash attacks by leveraging console access, a similar issue to CVE-2015-3692.
