CVE-2009-5151 Information

Description

The stub component of Absolute Computrace Agent V70.785 executes code from a disk’s inter-partition space without requiring a digital signature for that code which allows attackers to execute code on the BIOS. This allows a privileged local user to achieve persistent control of BIOS behavior independent of later disk changes.
