1. What are the vulnerabilities in the boot process? What can an attacker exploit?
Solution
attacker can read or write into sdram arbitarily by bypassing firmware write restrictions or
protections
2) A local authenticated attacker may be able to bypass Secure Boot and/or perform an arbitrary
reflash of the platform firmware despite the presence of signed firmware update enforcement.
3)the attacker could corrupt the platform firmware and cause the system to become unusable
4)because of race condition the authenticated attacker can bypass the BIOS write protection
mechanism and write malicious code to the platform firmware.
