CVSS Vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:P/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:N
CVEID: CVE-2021-33080
Description: Exposure of sensitive system information due to uncleared debug
information in firmware for some Intel(R) SSD DC, Intel(R) Optane(TM) SSD and
Intel(R) Optane(TM) SSD DC Products may allow an unauthenticated user to
potentially enable information disclosure or escalation of privilege via
physical access.
CVSS Base Score: 7.3 High
CVSS Vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:P/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:N
CVEID: CVE-2021-33074
Description: Protection mechanism failure in firmware for some Intel(R) SSD,
Intel(R) SSD DC and Intel(R) Optane(TM) SSD Products may allow an
unauthenticated user to potentially enable information disclosure via physical
access.
CVSS Base Score: 6.8 Medium
CVSS Vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:P/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:N
CVEID: CVE-2021-33069
Description: Improper resource shutdown or release in firmware for some Intel
(R) SSD, Intel(R) SSD DC, Intel(R) Optane(TM) SSD and Intel(R) Optane(TM) SSD
DC may allow a privileged user to potentially enable denial of service via
local access.
CVSS Base Score: 6.0 Medium
CVSS Vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:C/C:N/I:N/A:H
CVEID: CVE-2021-33075
Description: Race condition in firmware for some Intel(R) Optane(TM) SSD, Intel
(R) Optane(TM) SSD DC and Intel(R) SSD DC Products may allow a privileged user
to potentially enable denial of service via local access.
CVSS Base Score: 6.0 Medium
CVSS Vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:C/C:N/I:N/A:H
CVEID: CVE-2021-33083
Description: Improper authentication in firmware for some Intel(R) SSD, Intel
(R) Optane(TM) SSD, Intel(R) Optane(TM) SSD DC and Intel(R) SSD DC Products may
allow an privileged user to potentially enable information disclosure via local
access.
CVSS Base Score: 6.0 Medium
CVSS Vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:C/C:N/I:N/A:H
CVEID: CVE-2021-33082

Prescriptive guidance for CVE-2021-33082 : A possible workaround is to use one
of the following commands listed below instead of the Sanitize command with
Block Erase operation:
o NVMe Sanitize command, Crypto Erase (SANACT=04h) or
o NVMe Format NVM command, User Data Erase or Crypto Erase (SES=01h or SES=
02h)
Check the Identify Controller Data Structure below, for capability your drive
supports in lieu of sanitize erase feature:
o Sanitize command, Crypto Erase (offset 331:328, SANICAP bit 00h) and
o NVMe Format NVM command (offset 257:256, OACS bit 01h)

Acknowledgements:
These issues were found internally by Intel.
Intel, and nearly the entire technology industry, follows a disclosure practice
called Coordinated Disclosure, under which a cybersecurity vulnerability is
generally publicly disclosed only after mitigations are available.
