DescriptionCVE.org

Protection mechanism failure for some Intel(R) LLM Library for PyTorch within Ring 3: User Applications may allow an escalation of privilege. Unprivileged 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.

AnalysisAI

Privilege escalation affects Intel's LLM Library for PyTorch operating within Ring 3 (user application space) due to a protection mechanism failure (CWE-693). An adversary with access to an unprivileged software context, combined with the presence of a privileged user and passive user interaction, can exploit this flaw locally to gain elevated privileges with high impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires local system access (AV:L) - remote exploitation is not indicated by the CVSS 4.0 vector. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The overall risk is moderate-to-low in real-world terms despite high CIA impact scores. … 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 The primary remediation is to consult and apply the guidance in Intel Security Advisory INTEL-SA-01465, available at https://intel.com/content/www/us/en/security-center/advisory/intel-sa-01465.html, which is the authoritative source for patch versions and upgrade instructions; an exact fixed version was not independently confirmed from the available intelligence data. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.
