CVE-2022-33982
DMA attacks on the parameter buffer used by the Int15ServiceSmm software SMI handler could lead to a TOCTOU attack on the SMI handler and lead to corruption of SMRAM.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.16%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
