Thanks to AMD's AGESA updates, its motherboard partners have started rolling out BIOS updates containing a fix to protect the BIOS from LogoFAIL, a security flaw that allows the UEFI boot screen to be hijacked. LogoFAIL was discovered in Dec. 2023.

LogoFAIL is a set of security vulnerabilities affecting different image parsing libraries used in the system firmware by various vendors during the device boot process. It impacts devices by placing malicious code inside an image file that is parsed during boot, leading to persistence1. Here are some key points about LogoFAIL:

  1. What Is LogoFAIL?

  2. How It Works:

    • LogoFAIL involves hardware seller logos displayed on the device screen during the boot process while the UEFI is still running.
    • Image parsers in UEFIs from major vendors are riddled with roughly a dozen critical vulnerabilities that have gone unnoticed until now.
    • By replacing legitimate logo images with identical-looking ones specially crafted to exploit these bugs, LogoFAIL enables the execution of malicious code at the most sensitive stage of the boot process (known as DXE, short for Driver Execution Environment).
  3. Scope and Impact:

    • Hundreds of Windows and Linux computer models from virtually all hardware makers are vulnerable to LogoFAIL.
    • The attack can be remotely executed in post-exploit situations, using techniques that can’t be easily spotted by traditional endpoint security products.
    • Exploits run during the earliest stages of the boot process, bypassing defenses like Secure Boot and similar protections designed to prevent bootkit infections.
  4. Affected Parties:

  5. Protection and Mitigation:

Remember, LogoFAIL is not a virus but rather a set of vulnerabilities that allow attackers to bypass security measures and install malicious software during the boot process4. Stay vigilant and keep your devices secure! 🛡️🔒
