Time-of-check Time-of-use (TOCTOU) in the BIOS2PSP command may allow an attacker with a malicious BIOS to create a race condition causing the ASP bootloader to perform out-of-bounds SRAM reads upon an S3 resume event potentially leading to a denial of service.

Weakness

The product checks the state of a resource before using that resource, but the resource’s state can change between the check and the use in a way that invalidates the results of the check.
