Description
Protection mechanism failure for some Intel(R) Transfer Learning Tool before version v0.7 within Ring 3: User Applications may allow an escalation of privilege. Unprivileged software adversary with an unauthenticated user combined with a low complexity attack may enable escalation of privilege. This result may potentially occur via network access when attack requirements are present without special internal knowledge and requires no user interaction. The potential vulnerability may impact the confidentiality (low), integrity (low) and availability (low) of the vulnerable system, resulting in subsequent system confidentiality (none), integrity (none) and availability (none) impacts.

AI Analysis

Impact

The vulnerability stems from a protection mechanism failure in the Intel Transfer Learning Tool. An unauthenticated user, with low complexity attack skills, can trigger an escalation of privilege without needing user interaction. The flaw allows an unprivileged application to gain higher privileges. The potential impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability is classified as low. Consequently, no downstream system confidentiality, integrity, or availability consequences are anticipated.

Affected Systems

Intel Transfer Learning Tool versions prior to v0.7 are affected. Any deployment of this product that has not been updated beyond v0.7 may be vulnerable.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 6.3 reflects a moderate severity, but the EPSS score is under 1%, indicating a very low probability of exploitation in the wild. The vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. Attackers can potentially reach the vulnerable component over the network, but the attack does not require special internal knowledge or user interaction.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade the Intel Transfer Learning Tool to version 0.7 or later, which includes the required fix for the protection mechanism flaw.
  • If an upgrade is temporarily infeasible, restrict network access to the tool and ensure it runs with the least privilege required for its operation.
  • Continuously monitor for any privileged escalation events and apply additional security controls to limit the exposure of the tool.
