AI Insight
LLM-synthesized narrative grounded in this CVE's description and references.
Null pointer dereference in Intel AMT before 15.0.35 allows authenticated users to cause denial of service via network access.
Vulnerability
A null pointer dereference vulnerability exists in a subsystem of Intel Active Management Technology (AMT) prior to version 15.0.35. An authenticated user can trigger this condition via network access, leading to a denial of service. All versions of Intel AMT before 15.0.35 are affected [1].
Exploitation
An attacker must have network access to the Intel AMT interface and valid authentication credentials. By sending a specially crafted network request, the attacker can cause a null pointer dereference, resulting in a crash of the affected subsystem.
Impact
Successful exploitation leads to a denial of service (DoS) of the Intel AMT subsystem, potentially disrupting remote management capabilities. No impact on confidentiality or integrity is described.
Mitigation
Intel has released version 15.0.35 to address this vulnerability. Users should update to this version or later. No workarounds are documented in the advisory [1].
