AI-Generated

Certain 3rd Gen Intel Xeon Scalable Processors are susceptible to race condition vulnerabilities that could allow unprivileged software to execute a denial of service attack. This vulnerability primarily affects system availability, potentially leading to significant disruptions without requiring user interaction, though it does necessitate local access and specific internal knowledge. Organizations utilizing these processors, particularly in environments where availability is critical, should prioritize mitigation efforts.

Original NVD Description

Hardware logic contains race conditions for some 3rd Gen Intel(R) Xeon(R) Scalable Processors within Ring 3: unprivileged software may allow a denial of service. Unprivileged software adversary with an authenticated user combined with a high complexity attack may enable denial of service. This result may potentially occur via local access when attack requirements are not present with special internal knowledge and requires no user interaction. The potential vulnerability may impact the confidentiality (none), integrity (none) and availability (high) of the vulnerable system, resulting in subsequent system confidentiality (none), integrity (none) and availability (high) impacts.
