Local privilege escalation via uncontrolled search path
Published Nov 13, 2024 · Updated Nov 14, 2024
Uncontrolled search path in Intel Fortran Compiler Classic before 2021.13 allows local users to gain elevated privileges. Intel has not disclosed the affected executable, library, searched location, or the unsafe search-order operation, nor how attacker-controlled content enters the path. Exploitation requires local low-privileged access, high-complexity conditions, and active user interaction, and successful exploitation compromises the host process context.
