Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Libva versions prior to 2.20.0

Description The issue is related to an uncontrolled search path in some Libva software, which may allow an authenticated user to potentially enable escalation of privilege via local access. This is caused by a subtle error or assumption related to UNIX user/group permissions. The issue affects projects related to video drivers from Intel and others.

Recommendations For versions prior to 2.20.0, update to version 2.20.0 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting local access to minimize the risk of exploitation.
