Summary

Improper input validation in Intel VTune Profiler before version 2025.1 within Ring 3: User Applications may allow an escalation of privilege. An unprivileged authenticated user with a low-complexity attack can manipulate data via local access, without user interaction.

Risk Assessment

This can lead to data manipulation, potentially affecting system integrity and availability. It requires an authenticated user, but the low attack complexity increases the risk.

Recommendation

Update Intel VTune Profiler to version 2025.1 or later. Restrict user privileges and monitor local activity.

Original NVD description (English source)

Improper input validation for some Intel VTune Profiler before version 2025.1 within Ring 3: User Applications may allow an escalation of privilege. Unprivileged software adversary with an authenticated user combined with a low complexity attack may enable data manipulation. 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 (low) of the vulnerable system, resulting in subsequent system confidentiality (none), integrity (none) and availability (none) impacts.
