Improper Buffer Restriction in Intel TDX Firmware Enables Privilege Escalation

Publication date: 2026-02-10

Last updated on: 2026-02-10

Assigner: Intel Corporation

Description
Improper buffer restrictions in the firmware for the TDX Module may allow an escalation of privilege. System software adversary with a privileged user combined with a high complexity attack may enable escalation of privilege. This result may potentially occur via local access when attack requirements are not present without special internal knowledge and requires no user interaction. The potential vulnerability may impact the confidentiality (high), integrity (low) and availability (none) of the vulnerable system, resulting in subsequent system confidentiality (none), integrity (none) and availability (none) impacts.

Executive Summary

This vulnerability involves improper buffer restrictions in the firmware of the Intel TDX Module. It may allow an escalation of privilege, meaning that a system software adversary who already has privileged user access could exploit this flaw to gain higher privileges. The attack is complex and requires local access, special internal knowledge, and no user interaction.

Impact Analysis

The vulnerability can impact the confidentiality of the system at a high level, potentially allowing unauthorized access to sensitive information. It has a low impact on system integrity and no impact on availability. However, subsequent impacts on system confidentiality, integrity, and availability are not expected.
