CVE-2022-37409

Local information disclosure via undisclosed control-flow flaw

Published May 10, 2023 · Updated Jan 27, 2025

Insufficient control flow management in Intel Cryptography Primitives Library before 2021.6 allows local users to disclose sensitive information. Intel has not published the affected function, input, or incorrect control-flow operation, so the code-level mechanism remains undisclosed. Exploitation requires authenticated local access and high attack complexity; the documented consequence is information disclosure only.
