Local privilege escalation via uncontrolled search path
Published Nov 13, 2024 · Updated Nov 14, 2024
Uncontrolled search path handling in Intel Rendering Toolkit before 2024.1.0 allows local users to escalate privileges through local access. Intel identifies an attacker-writable element in a fixed resource search path but does not disclose the affected file, function, component, or resource-loading operation. Exploitation requires low-privileged local access, high-complexity conditions, and active user interaction, after which attacker-supplied code executes with elevated privileges.

Exploitability
Present is not the same as exploitable
Compare your product and version with the public record. A matching version still requires validation against your environment.
Is a vulnerable build present?
Compare these published version ranges with your installed build and any vendor patches.
- Affected versionversion=0 <2024.1.0
- Affected versionversion=before version 2024.1.0
