Local privilege escalation via out-of-bounds memory access
Published Nov 14, 2023 · Updated Aug 30, 2024
Out-of-bounds memory access in Intel Unison allows local users to escalate privileges through access beyond a buffer boundary. Intel has not disclosed the affected component, the operation that crosses the buffer boundary, or the input that triggers it. Exploitation requires authenticated local access and can expose, alter, or interrupt resources available to the affected process.
