Discussion

Intel Network Drivers Local Privilege Escalation Vulnerability

Intel LAN drivers are prone to a local privilege-escalation vulnerability because they fail to bounds-check user-supplied data before copying it into an insufficiently sized buffer.

An attacker can trigger this issue to corrupt memory and to execute code with kernel-level privileges.

A successful attack can result in a complete compromise of the affected computer due to privilege escalation.

All PCI, PCI-X, and PCIe Intel network adapter drivers are vulnerable.
