CVE-2025-26694

Null pointer dereference for some Intel(R) QAT Windows software before version 2.6.0. within Ring 3: User Applications may allow a denial of service. System software adversary with an authenticated user combined with a low complexity attack may enable denial of service. This result may potentially occur via local access when attack requirements are not present without special internal knowledge and requires no user interaction. The potential vulnerability may impact the confidentiality (none), integrity (none) and availability (high) of the vulnerable system, resulting in subsequent system confidentiality (none), integrity (none) and availability (none) impacts.

Summary		(es) Desreferencia de puntero nulo para algún software Intel(R) QAT para Windows anterior a la versión 2.6.0. dentro del Anillo 3: Aplicaciones de Usuario puede permitir una denegación de servicio. Un adversario de software del sistema con un usuario autenticado combinado con un ataque de baja complejidad puede habilitar la denegación de servicio. Este resultado puede ocurrir potencialmente a través de acceso local cuando los requisitos de ataque no están presentes sin conocimiento interno especial y no requiere interacción del usuario. La potencial vulnerabilidad puede impactar la confidencialidad (ninguna), la integridad (ninguna) y la disponibilidad (alta) del sistema vulnerable, resultando en subsiguientes impactos en la confidencialidad (ninguna), integridad (ninguna) y disponibilidad (ninguna) del sistema.
