Improper configuration in system firmware for EDK II may allow unauthenticated
user to potentially enable escalation of privilege, information disclosure
and/or denial of service via local access. (CVE-2018-12179).

Insufficient memory write check in SMM service for EDK II may allow an
authenticated user to potentially enable escalation of privilege, information
disclosure and/or denial of service via local access. (CVE-2018-12182).

Stack overflow in DxeCore for EDK II may allow an unauthenticated user to
potentially enable escalation of privilege, information disclosure and/or
denial of service via local access. (CVE-2018-12183).

Buffer overflow in system firmware for EDK II may allow unauthenticated user
to potentially enable escalation of privilege and/or denial of service via
network access. (CVE-2019-0160).

Stack overflow in XHCI for EDK II may allow an unauthenticated user to
potentially enable denial of service via local access. (CVE-2019-0161).

Improper authentication in EDK II may allow a privileged user to potentially
enable information disclosure via network access. (CVE-2019-14553).

Insufficient control flow management in BIOS firmware for 8th, 9th, 10th
Generation Intel(R) Core(TM), Intel(R) Celeron(R) Processor 4000 & 5000 Series
Processors may allow an authenticated user to potentially enable denial of
