CVE-2022-41659

Service interruption via undisclosed access-control flaw

Published Nov 14, 2023 · Updated Aug 3, 2024

Improper access control in Intel Unison for Windows, Android, and iOS allows local users with privileged access to interrupt the application. Intel identifies improper access control but has not published the affected component, authorization decision, or input that reaches it. Exploitation requires high privileges, local access, no user interaction, and high complexity; the documented consequence is partial service interruption rather than data access or modification.
