CVE-2023-22297
Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.
NVD · uneditedAccess of memory location after end of buffer in some Intel(R) Server Board BMC firmware before version 2.90 may allow a privileged user to enable escalation of privilege via local access.
Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.

Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
dbcve · scoped2.90
Firmware version 2.90
- 1. Identify the specific Intel Server System model from the affected list (D50tnp1mhcrlc, D50tnp1mhcpac, D50tnp2mhsvac, D50tnp2mhstac, D50tnp1mhcrac, D50tnp2mfalac, M50cyp1ur204, or M50cyp1ur212).
- 2. Download the firmware update version 2.90 or later from the Intel support website or the vendor advisory link provided.
- 3. Access the BMC web interface or use IPMI commands to apply the firmware update.
- 4. Verify the firmware version has been successfully updated to 2.90 or later after the update process completes.
- 5. Confirm the vulnerability is remediated by verifying the BMC firmware version.
