While details of the vulnerability are slim, Intel said that the flaw stems from improper access control in the tool. The vulnerability in the Intel Processor Diagnostics tool (CVE-2019-11133) ranks 8.2 out of 10 on the CVSS 3.0 scale, making it high-severity. “An attacker could exploit these vulnerabilities to gain an escalation of privileges on a previously infected machine.” “Intel has released security updates to address vulnerabilities in Intel Solid State Drives for Data Centers and Intel Processor Diagnostic Tool,” according to a Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency ( CISA) alert.
Intel on Tuesday released the patch in tandem with a fix for a medium-severity security vulnerability in its S4500/S4600 lineup of Solid State Drives (SSD) for data centers. The Intel Processor Diagnostic tool is a free product that allows users to test and diagnose any issues in their processor before having to contact tech support. Intel has patched a high-severity vulnerability in its processor diagnostic tool, which could allow local attackers to launch several malicious attacks on affected devices, such as escalation of privilege or denial of service.
