CVE-2025-27246 Details
Description
Incorrect default permissions for the Intel(R) Processor Identification Utility before version 8.0.43 within Ring 3: User Applications may allow an escalation of privilege. System software adversary with an authenticated user combined with a high complexity attack may enable local code execution. This result may potentially occur via local access when attack requirements are present without special internal knowledge and requires active user interaction. The potential vulnerability may impact the confidentiality (high), integrity (high) and availability (high) of the vulnerable system, resulting in subsequent system confidentiality (none), integrity (none) and availability (none) impacts.
A vulnerability allowing privilege escalation has been identified in the Intel Processor Identification Utility software prior to version 8.0.43. This issue arises from incorrect default permissions, which may enable a system software adversary with an authenticated user status to execute local code. The vulnerability requires active user interaction and could potentially be exploited through local access, provided certain attack conditions are met, without the need for specialized internal knowledge.
Users are advised to update the Intel Processor Identification Utility software to version 8.0.43 or later. The latest version can be downloaded from the Intel Download Center.
