Summary

Incorrect default permissions in Intel(R) PresentMon before version 2.3.1 may allow an authenticated user to escalate privileges. The attack requires local access, high complexity, and user interaction, and may impact confidentiality, integrity, and availability.

Risk Assessment

An authenticated user could gain higher privileges, potentially leading to full compromise of confidentiality, integrity, and availability. However, it requires user interaction and local access.

Recommendation

Update Intel(R) PresentMon to version 2.3.1 or later. Restrict local access to trusted users and monitor for unusual privileged activity.

Original NVD description (English source)

Incorrect default permissions for some Intel(R) PresentMon before version 2.3.1 within Ring 3: User Applications may allow an escalation of privilege. Unprivileged software adversary with an authenticated user combined with a high 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 active 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.
