Summary

An improper link resolution before file access ('link following') in some Intel(R) Server Configuration Utility and Intel(R) Server Firmware Update Utility software before version 16.0.12 may allow privilege escalation. An authenticated attacker with high attack complexity and user interaction could exploit it.

Risk Assessment

An attacker could escalate privileges, potentially impacting confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the system.

Recommendation

Update Intel(R) Server Configuration Utility and Intel(R) Server Firmware Update Utility to version 16.0.12 or later. Restrict privileges and monitor for unusual activity.

Original NVD description (English source)

Improper link resolution before file access ('link following') for some Intel(R) Server Configuration Utility software and Intel(R) Server Firmware Update Utility software before version 16.0.12. within Ring 3: User Applications may allow an escalation of privilege. System software adversary with an authenticated user combined with a high complexity attack may enable escalation of privilege. This result may potentially occur via local access when attack requirements are present without special internal knowledge and requires active user interaction. The potential vulnerability may impact the confidentiality (high), integrity (high) and availability (high) of the vulnerable system, resulting in subsequent system confidentiality (none), integrity (none) and availability (none) impacts.
