Insufficient input validation in BIOS update utility in Intel NUC FW kits downloaded before May 24, 2018 may allow a privileged user to potentially trigger a denial of service or information disclosure via local access.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.33%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
