One advisory published by the tech giant describes over 20 vulnerabilities affecting Intel Server Boards, Server Systems and Compute Modules. A majority of the flaws can be exploited for privilege escalation, and a few of them can allow an attacker — one of them can be exploited without authentication — to launch DoS attacks via local access.
The most serious of the security holes is CVE-2020-8708, a critical improper authentication issue that allows an unauthenticated attacker to elevate privileges via adjacent access. Server Boards, Server Systems and Compute Modules prior to version 1.59 are impacted.
