VULNERABILITY SUMMARY
A vulnerability in HPE certain Gen10 Servers, DL20 Gen9, ML30 Gen9 and certain
Apollo servers with Intel Server Platform Service (SPS) v4.0 are vulnerable to
local Denial of Service and execution of arbitrary code.
Note: Intel has identified security vulnerabilities which could potentially
place impacted platforms at risk. An issue impacts Intel Server Platform
Service (SPS) v4.0 used in certain HPE servers. The SPS/ME firmware used in
Intel?s architecture can be compromised with physical access such that
non-authenticated code may be executed in the SPS environment outside of the
visibility of the user and operating system administrator. Intel has released
new revisions of the Intel Server Platform Service (SPS) firmware to address
this vulnerability.
