It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link."},"fix_prompt":"Check this codebase for CVE-2021-21554 and fix it if it is affected.\n\nWhat it is: CVE-2021-21554 is a medium-severity memory corruption vulnerability in Dell PowerEdge BIOS Intel 15G, published on 14 Jun 2021. It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2021-21554 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Dell PowerEdge BIOS Intel 15G. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-21554/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-21554/index.md)","id":"CVE-2021-21554","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-21554/index.md","name":"CVE-2021-21554","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-c8v2-crvq-95rh"],"analysis":{"component_type":"hardware_firmware","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["code_execution","denial_of_service","data_read"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":true,"product_category":"Dell PowerEdge BIOS","requires_auth":"high_privilege","summary":"A local high-privilege attacker can exploit a stack-based buffer overflow in Dell BIOS to execute arbitrary code, cause denial of service, or disclose information.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"memory_corruption"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"dell","cpe":[{"product":"poweredge_mx740c_firmware","vendor":"dell"},{"product":"poweredge_mx840c_firmware","vendor":"dell"},{"product":"poweredge_r640_firmware","vendor":"dell"},{"product":"poweredge_r740_firmware","vendor":"dell"},{"product":"poweredge_r740xd_firmware","vendor":"dell"},{"product":"poweredge_r840_firmware","vendor":"dell"},{"product":"poweredge_r940_firmware","vendor":"dell"},{"product":"poweredge_r940xa_firmware","vendor":"dell"},{"product":"precision_7920_firmware","vendor":"dell"}],"cvss":{"score":6.1,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:H/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:L","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-787","name":"Out-of-bounds Write"},{"id":"CWE-122","name":"Heap-based Buffer Overflow"}],"description":"Dell PowerEdge R640, R740, R740XD, R840, R940, R940xa, MX740c, MX840c, and, Dell Precision 7920 Rack Workstation BIOS contain a stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability in systems with Intel Optane DC Persistent Memory installed.
