AI Insight
LLM-synthesized narrative grounded in this CVE's description and references.
Insufficient access control in Intel Graphics Driver's kernel mode driver allows local privileged users to read device configuration information.
Vulnerability
The vulnerability resides in the Kernel Mode Driver of Intel Graphics Driver for Windows. Due to insufficient access control, a privileged user can access device configuration information. Affected versions include those before 10.18.x.5059 (15.33.x.5059), 10.18.x.5057 (15.36.x.5057), 20.19.x.5063 (15.40.x.5063), 21.20.x.5064 (15.45.x.5064), and 24.20.100.6373 [1].
Exploitation
An attacker must have local access and be a privileged user (e.g., Administrator) on the system. The attacker can then run a specially crafted application that exploits the insufficient access control to read device configuration information from the kernel mode driver [1].
Impact
A successful exploit allows the attacker to read device configuration information, leading to information disclosure. The attacker does not gain code execution or privilege escalation beyond their existing privileges [1].
Mitigation
Intel has released updated drivers to address this issue. Users should update to the following versions or later: 10.18.x.5059, 10.18.x.5057, 20.19.x.5063, 21.20.x.5064, or 24.20.100.6373. No workarounds are provided in the advisory [1].
