Some Lenovo Notebook, ThinkPad, and Lenovo Desktop systems have BIOS modules unprotected by Intel Boot Guard that could allow an attacker with physical access the ability to write to the SPI flash storage.

In Lenovo systems, SMM BIOS Write Protection is used to prevent writes to SPI Flash. While this provides sufficient protection, an additional layer of protection is provided by SPI Protected Range Registers (PRx). After resuming from S3 sleep mode in various versions of BIOS for some Lenovo ThinkPad systems, the PRx is not set. This does not impact the SMM BIOS Write Protection, which keeps systems protected.

Incorrect parameter validation in the synaTee component of Synaptics WBF drivers using an SGX enclave (all versions prior to 2019-11-15) allows a local user to execute arbitrary code in the enclave (that can compromise confidentiality of enclave data) via APIs that accept invalid pointers.

Incorrect access control in the firmware of Synaptics VFS75xx family fingerprint sensors that include external flash (all versions prior to 2019-11-15) allows a local administrator or physical attacker to compromise the confidentiality of sensor data via injection of an unverified partition table.

A potential vulnerability in the SMI callback function used in the Legacy SD driver in some Lenovo ThinkPad, ThinkStation, and Lenovo Notebook models may allow arbitrary code execution.

An internal shell was included in BIOS image in some ThinkPad models that could allow escalation of privilege.

Lenovo implemented Intel CSME Anti-rollback ARB protections on some ThinkPad models to prevent roll back of CSME Firmware in flash.

A potential vulnerability in the SMI callback function used in the Legacy USB driver using boot services structure in runtime phase in some Lenovo ThinkPad models may allow arbitrary code execution.

The BIOS tamper detection mechanism was not triggered in Lenovo ThinkPad T460p, BIOS versions up to R07ET90W, and T470p, BIOS versions up to R0FET50W, which may allow for unauthorized access.

A potential vulnerability in the SMI callback function used in Legacy USB driver using passed parameter without sufficient checking in some Lenovo ThinkPad models may allow arbitrary code execution.
