Local denial of service through undisclosed access control
Published Apr 10, 2024 · Updated Aug 1, 2024
Improper access control in Dell Alienware Command Center 5.5.52.0 and earlier allows local users to cause a denial of service. Dell has not disclosed the affected component or the operation that fails to enforce access control on attacker-controlled input. Exploitation requires low privileges, local access, high complexity, and user interaction; the resulting denial of service is not further characterized.
