A potential vulnerability has been reported in Lenovo Power Management Driver versions prior to 1.67.17.48 leading to a buffer overflow which could cause a denial of service.
Technical Analysis
CVE-2019-6192 requires local access, meaning attackers must already have a foothold on the target system.
