AI-Generated

The Intel NPU Driver is vulnerable due to improper buffer restrictions, which can be exploited by an authenticated user to cause a denial of service. This vulnerability allows an unprivileged attacker to disrupt system availability with minimal complexity and no user interaction required. Organizations using affected versions of the Intel NPU Driver should prioritize remediation to mitigate potential service disruptions.

Original NVD Description

Improper buffer restrictions for the Intel(R) NPU Driver for all versions within Ring 3: User Applications may allow a denial of service. Unprivileged software adversary with an authenticated user combined with a low complexity attack may enable denial of service. This result may potentially occur via local access when attack requirements are not present without special internal knowledge and requires no user interaction. The potential vulnerability may impact the confidentiality (none), integrity (low) and availability (high) of the vulnerable system, resulting in subsequent system confidentiality (none), integrity (none) and availability (none) impacts.
