What is CVE-2025-22850?

A race condition in the UEFI PdaSmm module for select Intel reference platforms can allow for potential information disclosure. This issue requires a privileged user to exploit and involves a complex attack vector, which could lead to local data exposure. Importantly, this vulnerability does not necessitate special internal knowledge or user interaction to execute. While the potential risks are serious, they primarily affect system confidentiality.

Affected Version(s)

Intel(R) reference platforms may allow an information disclosure. System software adversary with a privileged user combined with a high complexity attack may enable data exposure. This result may potentially occur via local access when attack requirements are not present without special internal knowledge and requires no user interaction. The potential vulnerability may impact the confidentiality (high), integrity (none) and availability (none) of the vulnerable system, resulting in subsequent system confidentiality (none), integrity (none) and availability (none) impacts.
