Vulnerability Assessment

CWE
ASVS 5.0
V15 - Secure Coding and Architecture Off-by-one prevention
|
| Exploitation Conditions | Exploitation requires a local, Ring-0 / hypervisor-level system-software adversary that can invoke the MigTD vmcall_raw transport interface - i.e., the attacker must already control the host hypervisor interacting with an Intel TDX Migration Trust Domain. The CVSS vector (AV:L, AT:N, PR:N, UI:N) indicates no additional attack requirements, no authentication enforced by the transport, and no user interaction once that local position is held. Limiting factors: the vulnerability is only reachable on Intel TDX-enabled platforms running MigTD, the attack vector is local rather than network-reachable, and impact is bounded to low integrity and low availability (data corruption / denial of service) with no confidentiality loss and no subsequent-system impact. |
| Impact | Signals are mostly aligned toward moderate, not urgent, risk. The CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N) describes a locally-accessed, low-complexity, unauthenticated flaw with only low integrity and low availability impact to the vulnerable system and no subsequent-system impact (VC:N/VI:L/VA:L/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N), yielding a base score of 5.1 (medium). The vuln.today decision label is 'this_month' - a routine patch-cycle priority, not act_now or emergency. No EPSS score, no CISA KEV listing, and no PoC/exploit reference are present in the input, so there is no public exploit identified at time of analysis and no evidence of active exploitation; absence of these is not itself a risk signal but does lower urgency. The key constraint is the local attack vector: exploitation requires a system-software adversary already positioned at Ring 0 / hypervisor level, so this is a trust-boundary hardening issue within the TDX confidential-computing model rather than a remotely reachable or mass-exploitable vulnerability. One point to verify with the vendor: the description's phrasing ('System software adversary with an unauthenticated user') maps PR:N despite the attacker needing hypervisor-level positioning - the 'unauthenticated' metric reflects that the MigTD transport imposes no additional authentication, not that any remote user can reach it. The CWE-193 off-by-one aligns with the low integrity/availability impact (bounded memory corruption / denial of service) rather than code execution. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | A malicious or compromised hypervisor interacts with a Migration TD through the vmcall_raw transport and supplies input that trips the off-by-one boundary error, corrupting a small amount of adjacent data or crashing the MigTD. Because the vector is local (AV:L) and low-complexity (AC:L) with no authentication required by the transport, a Ring-0 adversary already present on the host can trigger it reliably. No public exploit code or PoC is identified in the available sources. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Nov 10, 2026
An off-by-one error in Intel TDX MigTD's vmcall_raw transport can let a local Ring-0/hypervisor-level system-software adversary corrupt data or cause denial of service on TDX-enabled platforms running the migration trust domain. The CVSS 4.0 vector indicates local access, low attack complexity, no attack requirements, no authentication enforced by the transport, and no user interaction, with low integrity and availability impact and no confidentiality impact or subsequent-system impact. No public exploit was identified at time of analysis, and the issue is assessed as moderate rather than urgent risk.
RemediationAI
No fixed MigTD version is listed in the supplied data; consult Intel Security Advisory intel-sa-01580 at https://intel.com/content/www/us/en/security-center/advisory/intel-sa-01580.html for the vendor-released fix and platform-specific update guidance, and apply the fixed MigTD build once identified. If an immediate update is not available, restrict local hypervisor/Ring-0 control to trusted administrators and avoid enabling or exposing MigTD migration and vmcall_raw functionality on TDX platforms where it is not required, accepting that this limits or disables live migration capability. Because exploitation requires an attacker already positioned at the hypervisor level, hardening and monitoring hypervisor access are relevant compensating measures, but they do not remove the off-by-one flaw; network controls are not a direct mitigation for this local attack vector.

Technical ContextAI · show details
Intel TDX (Trust Domain Extensions) provides hardware-isolated confidential computing trust domains, and MigTD is the Migration Trust Domain component involved in TDX migration workflows. The affected interface is the vmcall_raw transport, through which a Ring-0/hypervisor-level system-software adversary can interact with MigTD; CWE-193 (Off-by-One Error) describes an incorrect boundary calculation that can produce an out-of-bounds condition by one element. In this CVE the result is bounded to low integrity and low availability impact, consistent with data corruption or denial of service and no confidentiality loss, while the CVSS 4.0 vector AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:L/VA:L confirms the local, low-complexity, unauthenticated-by-transport, no-user-interaction conditions. The exact faulty boundary condition and the precise trigger path are not described in the available sources; reachability is limited to Intel TDX-enabled platforms running MigTD and requires the attacker to already hold local hypervisor/Ring-0 control.

DescriptionCVE.org
Off-by-one error in the MigTD's vmcall_raw transport for the Intel(R) TDX Migration Trust Domain (MigTD) within Ring 0: Hypervisor may allow a denial of service. System software adversary with an unauthenticated user combined with a low complexity attack may enable data corruption. 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 (low) of the vulnerable system, resulting in subsequent system confidentiality (none), integrity (none) and availability (none) impacts.
