Additional Details
The consequence of a successful exploit is denial of service of the TPM. Dell recommends that customers review their security posture, including restriction of accounts with administrative privileges from sending commands to the TPM. Customers should consider this review as part of their decision-making process when determining whether to apply the patch. TPM firmware 7.2.5.0 includes mitigation for CVE‑2025‑2884 and systems already updated to it are not affected. However, 7.2.5.0 is not FIPS 140-3 certified, and TPM security policy prevents downgrading once it is installed. TPM firmware version 7.2.4.1 is the official, validated, FIPS 140‑3 and Common Criteria certified release that contains the mitigation for CVE‑2025‑2884. Contact Dell Customer Support for more information.
