Intel Graphics Drivers and LTS Kernels Denial-of-Service Vulnerability

A denial-of-service vulnerability has been identified in certain Intel Graphics Drivers and Intel LTS kernels. This issue arises from improper input validation in some firmware, specifically within Ring 1: Device Drivers. The vulnerability may allow an unprivileged software adversary, with an authenticated user, to cause a denial-of-service condition. Exploitation of this vulnerability could occur through local access, provided the attacker has special internal knowledge, and requires no user interaction.

Impact

Exploitation of this vulnerability can lead to a denial-of-service condition, causing a low impact on the availability of the affected system.

Remediation

Users are advised to update Intel Graphics Drivers for Intel Arc graphics and Intel Iris Xe graphics to version 32.0.101.6913 or later. For Intel Arc Pro graphics, update to version 32.0.101.6862 or later. Intel LTS kernel users should update to the latest version. Instructions for downloading these updates are available on the Intel Download Center and the Intel Linux LTS GitHub repository.
