A local privilege escalation vulnerability was found on polkit's pkexec utility. The pkexec application is a setuid tool designed to allow unprivileged users to run commands as privileged users according predefined policies. The current version of pkexec doesn't handle the calling parameters count correctly and ends trying to execute environment variables as commands. An attacker can leverage this by crafting environment variables in such a way it'll induce pkexec to execute arbitrary code. When successfully executed the attack can cause a local privilege escalation given unprivileged users administrative rights on the target machine.

Dell Edge Gateway BIOS, versions 3200 and 5200, contains an out-of-bounds read vulnerability. A local authenticated malicious user with high privileges could potentially exploit this vulnerability to read contents of stack memory and use this information for further exploits.

Dell BIOS contains an improper input validation vulnerability. A local authenticated malicious user with admin privileges may potentially exploit this vulnerability to modify a UEFI variable, leading to denial of service and escalation of privileges

Dell BIOS contain a Time-of-check Time-of-use vulnerability in BIOS. A local authenticated malicious user with physical access to the system could potentially exploit this vulnerability by using a specifically timed DMA transaction during an SMI in order to gain arbitrary code execution on the system.
