CVE-2025-22893

Local privilege escalation via undisclosed control-flow flaw

Published Aug 12, 2025 · Updated Feb 26, 2026

Insufficient control-flow management in Intel's 800 Series Ethernet Linux driver before 1.17.2 allows local users to escalate privileges. Intel has not published the affected function, code path, or malformed operation behind the control-flow failure. Low-privileged local access is required, with no user interaction; successful exploitation grants privileges beyond the user's existing account.
