CVE-2022-26045

Privilege escalation via undisclosed buffer mishandling

Published Nov 11, 2022 · Updated Feb 5, 2025

Improper buffer restrictions in Intel XMM 7560 Modem software before M2_7560_R_01.2146.00 allow attackers to escalate privileges via physical access. Intel identifies improper buffer restrictions but does not disclose the affected routine, buffer operation, or attacker-controlled input. Physical access and high privileges are required; successful exploitation permits limited integrity modification and service interruption.
