CyberRota Analysis

AI-Generated

Certain versions of Intel(R) Neural Compressor software prior to v3.6 are vulnerable due to a failure in their protection mechanisms, allowing unprivileged users to escalate their privileges through a low-complexity attack. This vulnerability could lead to significant impacts on the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the affected systems, particularly if local access is obtained. Organizations using this software should prioritize patching to mitigate the risk of exploitation.

Original NVD Description

Protection mechanism failure for some Intel(R) Neural Compressor software before version v3.6 within Ring 3: User Applications may allow an escalation of privilege. Unprivileged software adversary with a privileged user combined with a low complexity attack may enable escalation of privilege. This result may potentially occur via local access when attack requirements are present without special internal knowledge and requires passive user interaction. The potential vulnerability may impact the confidentiality (high), integrity (high) and availability (high) of the vulnerable system, resulting in subsequent system confidentiality (none), integrity (none) and availability (none) impacts.
