Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2024-05-03 02:13 – Updated: 2024-08-15 15:50

Title

Intel Driver & Support Assistant Link Following Local Privilege Escalation Vulnerability

Summary

Intel Driver & Support Assistant Link Following Local Privilege Escalation Vulnerability. This vulnerability allows local attackers to escalate privileges on affected installations of Intel Driver & Support Assistant. An attacker must first obtain the ability to execute low-privileged code on the target system in order to exploit this vulnerability. The specific flaw exists within the DSA Service. By creating a symbolic link, an attacker can abuse the service to delete a file. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to escalate privileges and execute arbitrary code in the context of SYSTEM. Was ZDI-CAN-21846.

Severity ?
