Summary
Protection mechanism failure in Intel(R) AI Containers before version v0.4.0 may allow an escalation of privilege. An attacker with a privileged user and a low complexity attack may enable privilege escalation. The attack requires local access, passive user interaction, and may impact confidentiality, integrity, and availability.
Risk Assessment
Privilege escalation could allow an attacker to gain full control over AI containers, potentially leading to a breach of data and resources.
Recommendation
It is recommended to update Intel(R) AI Containers to version v0.4.0 or later, which includes a fix for the protection mechanism.
Original NVD description (English source)
Protection mechanism failure for some Intel(R) AI Containers before version v0.4.0 within Ring 3: User Applications may allow an escalation of privilege. System 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.
