CVE-2022-21161 was initially cataloged as a vulnerability potentially affecting Intel products or related software components. However, the CVE entry for this identifier has been marked as REJECTED by the assigner (Intel), indicating that upon review, the reported issue was determined not to constitute a valid security vulnerability. The absence of technical details, affected versions, patch links, or known exploits further supports that this CVE does not represent an actionable security threat. The rejection status typically means the initial report was either a duplicate, a non-security issue, or an invalid submission. Consequently, there is no technical basis to describe an exploit mechanism, attack vectors, or impact scenarios for this CVE.
