Dell Client Platform Security Update for Dell dbutil Driver

The vulnerability exists in the dbutil_2_3.sys driver. This driver file may have been installed on your Dell Windows operating system when you used firmware update utility packages, Dell Command Update, Dell Update, Alienware Update, Dell System Inventory Agent, or Dell Platform Tags, including when using any Dell notification solution to update drivers, BIOS, or firmware for your system. To best protect yourself, Dell recommends removing the dbutil_2_3.sys driver from your system by following one of three options listed in Remediation Step 1 below.

Dell has remediated the dbutil driver and has released firmware update utility packages for supported platforms running Windows 10, Dell Command Update, Dell Update, Alienware Update, Dell System Inventory Agent and Dell Platform Tags. For supported platforms on Windows when you:

install a remediated package containing the BIOS, Thunderbolt firmware, TPM firmware, or dock firmware; or

update Dell Command Update, Dell Update, or Alienware Update; or

install the latest version of Dell System Inventory Agent or Dell Platform Tags,

The remediated dbutil driver is installed on your system. Refer to Remediation Step 2 for details.[/TD]

Dell Technologies recommends all customers consider both the CVSS base score and any relevant temporal and environmental scores that may impact the potential severity associated with a particular security vulnerability.

Affected Products and Remediation

The vulnerable driver (dbutil_2_3.sys) was delivered to impacted systems in two ways: (1) via affected firmware update utility packages, and (2) via Dell Command Update, Dell Update, Alienware Update, Dell System Inventory Agent, or Dell Platform Tags, including when using any Dell notification solution to update drivers, BIOS, or firmware on your system. The tables in the “Additional Information” section below provide the following information:

Table A lists platforms with impacted firmware update utility packages, including BIOS update utilities, Thunderbolt firmware update utilities, TPM firmware update utilities and dock firmware update utilities.

Table B lists the end of service life platforms with impacted firmware update utility packages, including BIOS update utilities, Thunderbolt firmware update utilities and TPM firmware update utilities.

Note: The dbutil_2_3.sys driver vulnerability does not impact the actual firmware updates that these utilities deliver. Rather, the vulnerability exists in the dbutil_2_3.sys driver that is packaged with the firmware update utility.

Remediation Steps:
Impacted customers must complete 2 steps as follows:

Immediately remove the vulnerable dbutil_2_3.sys driver from the affected system using one of the following options from Step 1 below: download and run a utility to remove the driver from the system (Option 1), manually remove the driver from the system (Option 2), or on or after May 10, 2021, utilize one of the Dell notification solutions to run the utility (Option 3).

Option 3 (available by May 10, 2021): If you use one of the Dell notification solutions, you can use it to obtain and run the Dell Security Advisory Update – DSA-2021-088 utility.

Scenario 1: If your Dell notification solution is configured to automatically notify you of updates, and configured to automatically download and apply them, then this utility is automatically downloaded and applied for you.Scenario 2: If your Dell notification solution is not configured to automatically download and apply updates, obtain the utility via one of the Dell notification solutions , by clicking “Check for Updates”, and then selecting and applying Dell Security Advisory Update – DSA-2021-088.
Step 2: To prevent reintroduction of a vulnerable dbutil driver, obtain and run a remediated firmware update utility package, Dell Command Update, Dell Update, Alienware Update, Dell System Inventory Agent, or Dell Platform Tags as applicable.
For firmware update utility packages: With your next scheduled firmware update, download and apply the latest available firmware update utility which contains a remediated dbutil driver. Customers can use one of the Dell notification solutions to receive updated firmware update utility packages, as applicable.Notes:

Alienware (Dell) BIOS update

Denis @Try3

I have started a thread here to try to better explain and not clog up Site Bugs.

Site Bugs and Suggestions [4]

Normally, since I've had this machine, about 3 1/2 years, BIOS updates are shown to me as part of the Alienware Update app or if I go to Dell Support and put in my Support number. I then download the .exe shown for the update, just like any other Dell update. When I run the executable, it does a restart and as you say goes thru a very verbose update process, all steps being display in the BIOS update screen. Then normal restart and all comes up normal.

That is the normal way I have been doing it for years. This time, when I did a check for updates, the WHQL BIOS (firmware) had already been installed by WU (not me) and was waiting for a restart. I had few choices. I did the restart. It started the BIOS update process but the verbose messaging was not there, just the message "Updating system files" or something like that. It did the update, did a restart and all came up normally.

What I am trying to explain is this update thru WU from BIOS version 1.0.22 to version 1.0.23 went thru perfectly from all I can see: (Your batch file)

From BIOS:

System Information:

From Device Manager:

This is normal for me, it takes a while to get the info updated here. Couple of weeks it will say 1.0.23.

What's real is your .bat, the BIOS pic, and System Info.

Now to the question. I saw all the links you provided. I've been to all of them before. When I go to Dell Support, enter my Service Tag Number, scroll down the Drivers section, I get this as the most current.

Obviously not so. And I cannot find any reference anywhere on the 'net to version 1.0.23.

That is why I asked @firebird if he had any other info since it appeared he had access to info I do not:

Why is Microsoft downloading "Alienware" by Dell on my Lenovo laptop?

Hi John DeV,

Although the show/hide updates would probably work, the Alienware control panel was already part way through the update when I paused it so it wouldn't stop the update anyway. So, I did the update and went to look at the history of the update. While it said the Alienware "driver" was updated, I went to the "driver" folder and it didn't show any update that had been done for "Alienware". I also looked into deleting the program again and it was no longer listed at all.

This is strange as it looks like it isn't on my computer since there is no driver or program listed but it is shown on the "Windows update" history. Why would it be listed if it isn't on the computer? This whole "Alienware" thing is very strange to say the least as I said earlier this is a Lenovo laptop not a "Dell" Alienware laptop so, why would Microsoft update this program in the first place?

Wondering,

Elaine

P.S. Thanks for all your help!
