CVE-2025-35972

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.

Summary		(es) Ruta de búsqueda no controlada para la biblioteca Intel MPI anterior a la versión 2021.16 dentro del Anillo 3: Aplicaciones de Usuario puede permitir una escalada de privilegios. Un adversario de software sin privilegios con un usuario autenticado combinado con un ataque de alta complejidad puede permitir la escalada de privilegios. Este resultado puede ocurrir potencialmente a través de acceso local cuando los requisitos de ataque están presentes sin conocimiento interno especial y requiere interacción activa del usuario. La potencial vulnerabilidad puede tener un impacto en la confidencialidad (alta), integridad (alta) y disponibilidad (alta) del sistema vulnerable, lo que resulta en impactos posteriores en la confidencialidad (ninguno), integridad (ninguno) y disponibilidad (ninguno) del sistema.
