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-2022-21793 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Intel(R) Ethernet 500 Series Controller drivers for VMWare before version 1.11.4.0 and in the Intel(R) Ethernet 700 Series Controller drivers for VMWare. 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-2022-21793/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-21793/index.md)","id":"CVE-2022-21793","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-21793/index.md","name":"CVE-2022-21793","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-83qg-x9mg-rj3j"],"analysis":{"component_type":"hardware_firmware","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Intel Ethernet drivers","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"An authenticated local user can cause a denial of service in Intel Ethernet controller drivers for VMware due to insufficient control flow management.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"denial_of_service"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"intel","cpe":[{"product":"i40en","vendor":"vmware"},{"product":"ixgben","vendor":"vmware"}],"cvss":{"score":5.5,"severity":"medium","source":"cisa-adp","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[],"description":"Insufficient control flow management in the Intel(R) Ethernet 500 Series Controller drivers for VMWare before version 1.11.4.0 and in the Intel(R) Ethernet 700 Series Controller drivers for VMWare before version 2.1.5.0 may allow an authenticated user to potentially enable a denial of service 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":"Denial of service in Intel(R) Ethernet 500 Series Controller drivers for VMWare before version 1.11.4.0 and in the Intel(R) Ethernet 700 Series Controller drivers for VMWare","id":"CVE-2022-21793","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"denial_of_service","year":"2022"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Auth bypass in Intel(R) NUC Boards, Intel(R) NUC Business, Intel(R) NUC Enthusiast, Intel(R) NUC Kits","id":"CVE-2022-21794"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Memory corruption in MT6833, MT6853, MT6853T, MT6873, MT6875, MT6877, MT6883, MT6885, MT6889, MT6893","id":"CVE-2022-21792"},"products":["Intel(R) Ethernet 500 Series Controller drivers for VMWare before version 1.11.4.0 and in the Intel(R) Ethernet 700 Series Controller drivers for VMWare"],"published":"2022-08-18","related":[],"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":"no","exploitation":"none","technical_impact":"partial"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2025-05-05","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"An authenticated local user can cause a denial of service in Intel Ethernet controller drivers for VMware due to insufficient control flow management.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-21793/"}
