Executive Summary

This vulnerability occurs in the function __host_check_page_state_range within the mem_protect.c file. It is caused by an incorrect bounds check that can lead to an out of bounds write.

Because of this flaw, an attacker could exploit it to escalate their privileges locally on the affected system without needing any additional execution privileges or user interaction.

Impact Analysis

The impact of this vulnerability is a local escalation of privilege. This means an attacker who already has some level of access to the system could increase their privileges to gain higher-level control.

Since no additional execution privileges or user interaction are required, the attacker could exploit this vulnerability silently and potentially gain unauthorized access to sensitive system functions or data.
