CVE-2025-25216
Description
Improper input validation in some firmware for some Intel(R) Graphics Drivers and Intel LTS kernels within Ring 1: Device Drivers may allow a denial of service. Unprivileged software adversary with an authenticated user combined with a low complexity attack may enable denial of service. This result may potentially occur via local access when attack requirements are present with special internal knowledge and requires no user interaction. The potential vulnerability may impact the confidentiality (none), integrity (none) and availability (low) of the vulnerable system, resulting in subsequent system confidentiality (none), integrity (none) and availability (none) impacts.

Improper input validation in Intel Graphics Drivers and LTS kernels allows local authenticated users to cause denial of service.
Vulnerability
Description CVE-2025-25216 is an improper input validation vulnerability in certain firmware for Intel(R) Graphics Drivers and Intel LTS kernels within Ring 1: Device Drivers. The root cause lies in insufficient validation of input data, which can be exploited by an unprivileged software adversary with authenticated user access to trigger a denial of service condition [1].
Exploitation
Exploitation requires local access and an authenticated user. The attack complexity is low, and no user interaction is needed. The attacker must have special internal knowledge of the system. The vulnerability is in the device driver level, allowing a local attacker to disrupt system availability via a low-complexity attack [1].
Impact
The vulnerability impacts availability (low) but does not affect confidentiality or integrity. The denial of service may cause system instability or crash, but subsequent impacts on confidentiality, integrity, and availability are none. The CVSS v3 base score is 3.3 (Low) [1].
Mitigation
Intel has released an advisory (INTEL-SA-01356) with updates to address this issue. Users are advised to apply the recommended firmware and driver updates from Intel to mitigate the vulnerability [1].
