Out-of-bounds write in IPv6 subsystem for Intel(R) AMT, Intel(R) ISM versions before 11.8.80, 11.12.80, 11.22.80, 12.0.70, 14.0.45 may allow an unauthenticated user to potentially enable escalation of privileges via network access.
AnalysisAI
Out-of-bounds write in IPv6 subsystem for Intel(R) AMT, Intel(R) ISM versions before 11.8.80, 11.12.80, 11.22.80, 12.0.70, 14.0.45 may allow an unauthenticated user to potentially enable escalation. Rated critical severity (CVSS 9.8), this vulnerability is remotely exploitable, 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. Out-of-bounds write in IPv6 subsystem for Intel(R) AMT, Intel(R) ISM versions before 11.8.80, 11.12.80, 11.22.80, 12.0.70, 14.0.45 may allow an unauthenticated user to potentially enable escalation of privileges via network access. Affected products include: Intel Active Management Technology Firmware, Netapp Cloud Backup, Intel Standard Manageability. Version information: before 11.8.80.
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).
