Various security vulnerabilities in Lenovo hardware
Lenovo is currently affected by some vulnerabilities in its entire PC portfolio models. In the meantime, the PC manufacturer has made the necessary BIOS updates available on its website.
If you own a Lenovo computer, you should make sure that the BIOS firmware is up to date. Attackers could target several vulnerabilities and compromise PCs. The Chinese PC manufacturer classifies the severity of the vulnerabilities as "high" overall. Five security vulnerabilities were already closed in mid-September.
