CVE-2024-21787

Local privilege escalation via inadequate encryption strength

Published Aug 14, 2024 · Updated Aug 14, 2024

Inadequate encryption strength in Intel BMRA software before 22.08 allows local users with authenticated access to escalate privileges. Intel has not published the affected component, cryptographic primitive, key-handling path, or operation that uses insufficient encryption strength. Exploitation requires local access and high privileges; successful exploitation can compromise data and system operation.
