Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Intel BIOS versions for D845BG, D845HV, D845PT, and D845WN motherboards

Description The issue allows local users to change the default boot device via the F8 key when BIOS passwords are enabled, due to improper restriction of access to configuration information. This could enable a local attacker to modify the default boot device without authentication.

Recommendations For Intel BIOS versions for D845BG, D845HV, D845PT, and D845WN motherboards, consider disabling the F8 key functionality or restricting access to the boot device selection menu until a fix is available. Additionally, ensure that BIOS passwords are properly set and managed to minimize the risk of exploitation. At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
