CVE-2025-32446

Untrusted pointer dereference for some Intel QuickAssist Technology software before version 2.6.0 within Ring 3: User Applications may allow an escalation of privilege. System software adversary with an authenticated user combined with a low complexity attack may enable data manipulation. 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 (high) and availability (none) of the vulnerable system, resulting in subsequent system confidentiality (none), integrity (none) and availability (none) impacts.

Summary		(es) La desreferencia de puntero no confiable para cierto software de Intel QuickAssist Technology anterior a la versión 2.6.0 dentro del Anillo 3: Aplicaciones de Usuario puede permitir una escalada de privilegios. Un adversario del software del sistema con un usuario autenticado combinado con un ataque de baja complejidad puede permitir la manipulación de datos. 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), integridad (alta) y disponibilidad (ninguna) del sistema vulnerable, lo que resulta en impactos posteriores en la confidencialidad (ninguna), integridad (ninguna) y disponibilidad (ninguna) del sistema.
