CVE-2024-24973

Local debugger interruption

Published Aug 14, 2024 · Updated Aug 14, 2024

Improper input validation in Intel Distribution for GDB before 2024.0.1 allows local users to interrupt the debugger via crafted input. Intel has not published the affected component, the accepted input, or the incorrect operation that triggers the interruption. Exploitation requires low local privileges, high complexity, and passive user interaction; the reported consequence is limited to reduced debugger availability.
