CVE-2022-35883

Local service interruption via NULL pointer dereference

Published Feb 16, 2023 · Updated Jan 27, 2025

NULL pointer dereference in Intel Media SDK before 22.2.2 allows local users to interrupt an application's media-processing service. Intel has not published the affected function, input, or dereference path, leaving the exact malformed media or API state undisclosed. Exploitation requires low-privileged local access, high attack complexity, and interaction by another user; the documented consequence is reduced availability.
