Lifecycle Timeline
1DescriptionCVE.org
Improper buffer restrictions for the Intel(R) NPU Driver for all versions within Ring 3: User Applications may allow a denial of service. Unprivileged software adversary with an authenticated user combined with a low complexity attack may enable denial of service. 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 (high) of the vulnerable system, resulting in subsequent system confidentiality (none), integrity (none) and availability (none) impacts.
AnalysisAI
Improper buffer restrictions in the Intel NPU Driver (Ring 3: User Applications) expose all driver versions to a denial-of-service condition triggerable by a local, low-privileged authenticated user. The CVSS 4.0 vector confirms local-only access (AV:L/PR:L) with high availability impact (VA:H) and a minor integrity side-effect (VI:L), but no confidentiality loss. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires a local, authenticated user session with at least low-privilege access (PR:L per the CVSS 4.0 vector). … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The CVSS 4.0 score of 6.9 with vector AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:N/VI:L/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N presents a consistent picture: a local, low-complexity, low-privilege denial-of-service with no confidentiality impact and minimal integrity side-effects. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | Full exploit scenario with step-by-step reproduction available after sign-in. |
| Remediation | Consult Intel's advisory INTEL-SA-01456 at https://intel.com/content/www/us/en/security-center/advisory/intel-sa-01456.html for the specific patched driver version; no exact fix version was extractable from the available data, so the advisory is the authoritative remediation source. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
