K15679 : UEFI EDK2 Capsule Update vulnerabilities CVE-2014-4859 / CVE-2014-4860

Security Advisory Description

CVE-2014-4859
During the Drive Execution Environment (DXE) phase of the UEFI boot process, the contents of the capsule image are parsed during processing. An integer overflow vulnerability exists in the capsule processing phase that can cause the allocation of a buffer to be unexpectedly small. As a result, attacker-controlled data can be written past the bounds of the buffer.

CVE-2014-4860
During the Pre-EFI Initialization (PEI) phase of the UEFI boot process, the capsule update is coalesced into its original form. Multiple integer overflow vulnerabilities exist in the coalescing phase that can be used to trigger a write-what-where condition.

Impact

None. No F5 products are affected by these vulnerabilities.
