It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim."},"fix_prompt":"Check this codebase for CVE-2019-0159 and fix it if it is affected.\n\nWhat it is: CVE-2019-0159 is a high-severity vulnerability in Linux Administrative Tools for Intel(R) Network Adapters, published on 16 Dec 2019. It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2019-0159 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Linux Administrative Tools for Intel(R) Network Adapters. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2019-0159/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2019-0159/index.md)","id":"CVE-2019-0159","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2019-0159/index.md","name":"CVE-2019-0159","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-ghq2-73xv-j8v7"],"analysis":{"component_type":"operating_system","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Linux network tools","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"An authenticated local user can escalate privileges due to insufficient memory protection in Intel's Linux network adapter tools.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"privilege_escalation"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"intel","cpe":[{"product":"administrative_tools_for_intel_network_adapters","vendor":"intel"}],"cvss":{"score":7.8,"severity":"high","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[],"description":"Insufficient memory protection in the Linux Administrative Tools for Intel(R) Network Adapters before version 24.3 may allow an authenticated user to potentially enable escalation of privilege via local access.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Privilege escalation in Linux Administrative Tools for Intel(R) Network Adapters","id":"CVE-2019-0159","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"privilege_escalation","year":"2019"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Memory corruption in Extensible Firmware Interface Development Kit (EDK II)","id":"CVE-2019-0160"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Privilege escalation in Intel(R) Graphics Performance Analyzer for Linux Advisory","id":"CVE-2019-0158"},"products":["Linux Administrative Tools for Intel(R) Network Adapters"],"published":"2019-12-16","related":[{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Privilege escalation in version","id":"CVE-2021-33058","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2021-11-17"},{"cvss_score":6.7,"headline":"Privilege escalation in Intel(R) Ethernet tools and driver install software","id":"CVE-2023-33870","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-02-14"},{"cvss_score":6.7,"headline":"Privilege escalation in Intel(R) Network Adapter installer software","id":"CVE-2022-41314","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-02-16"},{"cvss_score":6.7,"headline":"Privilege escalation in Intel(R) Administrative Tools for Intel(R) Network Adapters","id":"CVE-2021-33059","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2021-11-17"},{"cvss_score":6.3,"headline":"Privilege escalation in Intel(R) Ethernet Controller Administrative Tools drivers for Windows","id":"CVE-2022-27808","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-02-16"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-08-04","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"An authenticated local user can escalate privileges due to insufficient memory protection in Intel's Linux network adapter tools.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2019-0159/"}
