Insufficient DRAM Address Validation May Lead to Data Corruption or Denial of Service

CVE-2023-20510

Summary

The vulnerability involves an insufficient validation process for DRAM addresses within AMD's PMFW. A potential attacker with elevated privileges may exploit this weakness to read data from an unauthorized DRAM address, which can lead to significant issues such as data corruption or service disruptions. It highlights the critical need for robust validation mechanisms in memory handling to safeguard against unauthorized access and ensure system stability.
