Uncontrolled search path for the Intel(R) System Support Utility before version 4.1.0 within Ring 3: User Applications may allow an escalation of privilege. Unprivileged software adversary with a privileged user combined with a high complexity attack may enable local code execution. This result may potentially occur via local access when attack requirements are not present without special internal knowledge and requires passive 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.

Uncontrolled search path element in some Intel(R) SSU software before version 3.0.0.2 may allow an authenticated user to potentially enable escalation of privilege via local access.

Insufficient path checking in Intel(R) System Support Utility for Windows before 2.5.0.15 may allow an authenticated user to potentially enable an escalation of privilege via local access.
