AI-Generated

The Intel NPU Driver for Windows is vulnerable to a time-of-check time-of-use race condition, which could allow an unprivileged authenticated user to execute a high-complexity attack that results in a denial of service. This vulnerability primarily affects system availability, potentially leading to significant disruptions without requiring user interaction. Organizations using affected Windows systems should prioritize patching to mitigate the risk of service interruptions.

Original NVD Description

Time-of-check time-of-use race condition for the Intel(R) NPU Driver for Windows for all versions within Ring 1: Device Drivers 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 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.
