Local privilege escalation via out-of-bounds write
Published Feb 12, 2025 · Updated Feb 26, 2026
Out-of-bounds write in Intel QuickAssist Technology software before 2.2.0 allows local users to escalate host privileges. Intel has not disclosed the affected component, attacker-controlled input, or erroneous write operation beyond data being written outside an intended buffer. Exploitation requires low privileges and local access; successful abuse grants higher privileges on the host.
