Heap overflow in subsystem in Intel(R) CSME before versions 11.8.70, 11.11.70, 11.22.70, 12.0.45; Intel(R) TXE before versions 3.1.70 and 4.0.20 may allow an unauthenticated user to potentially enable escalation of privileges, information disclosure or denial of service via adjacent access.
AnalysisAI
Heap overflow in subsystem in Intel(R) CSME before versions 11.8.70, 11.11.70, 11.22.70, 12.0.45; Intel(R) TXE before versions 3.1.70 and 4.0.20 may allow an unauthenticated user to potentially. Rated high severity (CVSS 8.8), this vulnerability is no authentication required, low attack complexity. No vendor patch available.
Technical ContextAI
This vulnerability is classified as Out-of-bounds Write (CWE-787), which allows attackers to write data beyond allocated buffer boundaries leading to code execution or crashes. Heap overflow in subsystem in Intel(R) CSME before versions 11.8.70, 11.11.70, 11.22.70, 12.0.45; Intel(R) TXE before versions 3.1.70 and 4.0.20 may allow an unauthenticated user to potentially enable escalation of privileges, information disclosure or denial of service via adjacent access. Affected products include: Intel Converged Security Management Engine Firmware, Intel Trusted Execution Engine Firmware.
RemediationAI
No vendor patch is available at time of analysis. Monitor vendor advisories for updates. Validate write boundaries, use memory-safe languages, enable compiler protections (ASLR, stack canaries).
