CVSS v3.1

8.8

High

Base vector

AV:A/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions: Intel Server Boards, Server Systems and Compute Modules versions prior to 1.59

Description: The issue is related to a buffer overflow in a daemon, which may allow an unauthenticated user to potentially enable escalation of privilege via adjacent access. This is due to a lack of input size validation, allowing for the exploitation of the vulnerability. An attacker, acting remotely, could potentially elevate their privileges.

Recommendations: For versions prior to 1.59, update to version 1.59 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the daemon to minimize the risk of exploitation.
