Local privilege escalation in the Intel Data Center Graphics Driver for VMware ESXi before version 2.0.2 lets a privileged local user trigger a Ring 1 device-driver buffer overflow to execute arbitrary code and take total control of the host. The flaw carries a CVSS 4.0 base score of 9.3 with high confidentiality, integrity and availability impact on both the vulnerable and subsequent systems. There is no public exploit identified at time of analysis, and the EPSS score is negligible at 0.01% (3rd percentile), consistent with the SSVC verdict of no known exploitation.

Lifecycle Timeline
3DescriptionCVE.org
Buffer overflow for the Intel(R) Data Center Graphics Driver for VMware ESXi software before version 2.0.2 within Ring 1: Device Drivers may allow an escalation of privilege. System software adversary with a privileged user combined with a low complexity attack may enable local code execution. 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 (high), integrity (high) and availability (high) of the vulnerable system, resulting in subsequent system confidentiality (high), integrity (high) and availability (high) impacts.
Executive ViewAI
The Intel Data Center Graphics Driver for VMware ESXi versions before 2.0.2 contains a critical local privilege escalation vulnerability (CVSS 9.3) that allows a privileged local user to execute arbitrary code and gain complete control of the ESXi host. With no vendor patch currently available and no public exploit identified at time of analysis, organizations must immediately restrict privileged access and consider disabling the driver to prevent potential infrastructure compromise.
Within 24 hours: inventory all ESXi deployments to identify systems using Intel Data Center Graphics Driver versions prior to 2.0.2, and implement strict administrative access controls limiting privileged user access to only essential personnel. Within 7 days: disable the Intel Data Center Graphics Driver on systems where GPU graphics are not required for workload operations, and establish monitoring for suspicious driver-related activity and privilege escalation attempts. Within 30 days: establish a process to monitor Intel and VMware security advisories for patch availability, maintain current inventory of affected systems, and prepare a remediation plan for immediate deployment upon vendor patch release.
No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis. Interim mitigations include: restrict privileged administrative access to ESXi systems to minimize attack surface; disable Intel Data Center Graphics Driver where not operationally essential; implement driver execution monitoring and driver-level audit logging; enforce principle of least privilege for all administrative accounts; establish continuous monitoring of Intel and VMware security advisories for patch availability.

Priority Score
Attack Technique
Privilege escalation occurs when an attacker leverages flaws in access control mechanisms to gain permissions beyond what they were originally granted.
A buffer overflow occurs when a program writes more data to a memory buffer than it was allocated to hold, causing the excess data to spill into adjacent memory regions.
Remote Code Execution represents the critical moment when an attacker successfully runs arbitrary code on a target system without physical access.
