CVE-2024-23495

Local privilege escalation via incorrect default permissions

Published Aug 14, 2024 · Updated Aug 14, 2024

Incorrect default permissions in Intel Distribution for GDB before 2024.0.1 allow local users with authenticated access to escalate privileges. Intel identifies the weakness as incorrect default permissions but has not disclosed the affected file, directory, or permission-setting operation. Exploitation requires low-privileged local access, high complexity, and user interaction, and successful exploitation yields elevated privileges with broad system impact.
