VAR-201711-0011
Vulnerability from variot - Updated: 2025-04-20 23:24Seagate ST500LT015 hard disk drives, when operating in eDrive mode on Lenovo ThinkPad W541 laptops with BIOS 2.21, allow physically proximate attackers to bypass self-encrypting drive (SED) protection by attaching a second SATA connector to exposed pins, maintaining an alternate power source, and attaching the data cable to another machine, aka a "Hot Unplug Attack.". Seagate ST500LT015 Vulnerabilities exist in the hard disk drives that bypass security features.Information may be obtained. LenovoThinkPadW541laptopswithBIOS2.21 is a notebook computer of China Lenovo (Lenovo) that uses BIOS 2.21 version. SeagateST500LT015harddiskdrive is a hard drive made by Seagate, a computer used in the United States. There is a security hole in the SeagateST500LT015harddiskdrive on the Lenovo ThinkPad W541 laptop with BIOS version 2.21. This may aid in further attacks
