Local privilege escalation via path traversal
Published Nov 13, 2024 · Updated Nov 14, 2024
Path traversal in Intel Extension for Transformers before 1.5 allows local users to escalate privileges through authenticated local access. Intel has not disclosed the affected file or function, the path input involved, or how that input escapes its intended directory. Low-privilege access is required, and exploitation can alter protected data and interrupt affected workloads without disclosing data.
