AI-suggested
European organizations should immediately identify all systems running Intel QAT Windows software versions prior to 2.6.0 and prioritize upgrading to version 2.6.0 or later where the vulnerability is resolved. In the interim, restrict local access to systems with QAT acceleration to trusted personnel only and enforce strict authentication and access controls to minimize the risk of exploitation by low-privileged users. Implement enhanced monitoring and logging for unusual local access or privilege escalation attempts on affected systems. Conduct audits to ensure that no unauthorized users have local access privileges. Additionally, consider isolating critical systems with QAT hardware from less secure network segments to reduce insider threat risks. Finally, review and update incident response plans to include scenarios involving information disclosure through hardware acceleration vulnerabilities.
Description
Untrusted pointer dereference for some Intel(R) QAT Windows software before version 2.6.0.within Ring 3: User Applications may allow an information disclosure. System software adversary with an authenticated user combined with a low complexity attack may enable data exposure. 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 (high), integrity (none) and availability (none) of the vulnerable system, resulting in subsequent system confidentiality (none), integrity (none) and availability (none) impacts.
