CVE-2023-40238
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 · uneditedA LogoFAIL issue was discovered in BmpDecoderDxe in Insyde InsydeH2O with kernel 5.2 before 05.28.47, 5.3 before 05.37.47, 5.4 before 05.45.47, 5.5 before 05.53.47, and 5.6 before 05.60.47 for certain Lenovo devices. Image parsing of crafted BMP logo files can copy data to a specific address during the DXE phase of UEFI execution. This occurs because of an integer signedness error involving PixelHeight and PixelWidth during RLE4/RLE8 compression.

- 1. Identify the exact Esprimo model from the affected list: D556/2, D6011, D6012, D7010, D7010/8, D7011, D7012, or D7013
- 2. Determine the current firmware version installed on the device (typically accessible via BIOS setup or system information utility)
- 3. Download the latest firmware update from Fujitsu's official support website for the specific model
- 4. Follow Fujitsu's standard firmware update process - this typically requires: rebooting the system, entering BIOS/UEFI setup, selecting firmware update option, and allowing the update to complete without interruption
- 5. After update, verify the new firmware version matches or exceeds the fixed version for your model
