Assigner: Intel Corporation

Description
Improper link resolution before file access ('link following') for some Intel(R) Server Configuration Utility software and Intel(R) Server Firmware Update Utility software before version 16.0.12. 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 escalation of privilege. 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.

Executive Summary

This vulnerability involves improper link resolution before file access ('link following') in certain Intel Server Configuration Utility and Server Firmware Update Utility software versions before 16.0.12. It may allow an authenticated user with local access and high complexity attack conditions to escalate their privileges by exploiting how the software handles symbolic links or similar link mechanisms.

Impact Analysis

The vulnerability can lead to escalation of privilege, potentially impacting the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the affected system at a high level. This means an attacker could gain higher access rights than intended, possibly compromising sensitive data, altering system operations, or disrupting system availability.
