Summary
Improper input validation for DIMM serial presence detect (SPD) metadata could allow an attacker with physical access, ring0 access on a system with a non-compliant DIMM, or control over the Root of Trust for BIOS update, to bypass SMM isolation potentially resulting in arbitrary code execution at the SMM level.

Mitigation
Phases: Architecture and Design, Implementation, Testing
Description:
- Security lock bit protections must be reviewed for design inconsistency and common weaknesses.
- Security lock programming flow and lock properties must be tested in pre-silicon and post-silicon testing.
CAPEC-680: Exploitation of Improperly Controlled Registers
An adversary exploits missing or incorrectly configured access control within registers to read/write data that is not meant to be obtained or modified by a user.
