Computer manufacturer Dell has released a security update to fix five high-severity vulnerabilities in its firmware update driver which affect the company's desktops, laptops, notebooks and tablets that run Windows.
The vulnerabilities were found by security shop SentinelLabs, which said in
a blog post that they could be used for local escalation to kernel mode.
The affected drivers are present in millions of Windows devices that have been released by Dell since 2009, SentinelOne, the research unit of the security firm, said in the post which was issued on Tuesday.
