Denial of service via out-of-bounds write
Published Feb 17, 2021 · Updated Aug 4, 2024
Out-of-bounds write in Intel Extreme Tuning Utility before 6.5.3.25 allows local users with privileged access to interrupt its operation. Intel has not published the affected component, the input that reaches it, or the operation that writes beyond its buffer boundary. Exploitation requires privileged local access; the published consequence is denial of service, with no reported confidentiality impact.
