APTIOV contains a vulnerability in BIOS where an attacker may cause a TOCTOU Race Condition by local means. Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may lead to execution of arbitrary code on the target device.

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. This can cause the product to perform invalid actions when the resource is in an unexpected state.
