Summary

Uncontrolled search path in Intel MPI Library before version 2021.16 within Ring 3 user applications may allow privilege escalation. An authenticated user with local access and user interaction could exploit this to escalate privileges.

Risk Assessment

Could lead to privilege escalation and full system compromise by a low-privileged attacker. Impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability is high.

Recommendation

Update Intel MPI Library to version 2021.16 or later. Restrict local access to trusted users.

Original NVD description (English source)

Uncontrolled search path for the Intel MPI Library before version 2021.16 within Ring 3: User Applications may allow an escalation of privilege. Unprivileged 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.
