Service interruption via undisclosed resource consumption
Published Aug 12, 2025 · Updated Aug 13, 2025
Uncontrolled resource consumption in Intel i40e before 2.28.5 allows local users to interrupt network service on affected systems. Intel has not published the affected code locus, the resource being exhausted, or the operation performed on attacker-controlled input. The flaw requires low-privilege local access and affects availability without reported data disclosure or modification.
