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-2024-21807 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Intel(R) Ethernet Network Controllers and 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-2024-21807/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-21807/index.md)","id":"CVE-2024-21807","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-21807/index.md","name":"CVE-2024-21807","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-2mxh-j9g4-gj85"],"analysis":{"component_type":"hardware_firmware","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Intel Ethernet Network Adapter","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"An authenticated local user can escalate privileges due to improper initialization in Intel Ethernet network adapter drivers.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"privilege_escalation"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"intel","cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":9.3,"severity":"critical","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:H/SI:H/SA:H","version":"4.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-269","name":"Improper Privilege Management"},{"id":"CWE-665","name":"Improper Initialization"}],"description":"Improper initialization in the Linux kernel mode driver for some Intel(R) Ethernet Network Controllers and Adapters before version 28.3 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 Intel(R) Ethernet Network Controllers and Adapters","id":"CVE-2024-21807","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"privilege_escalation","year":"2024"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Privilege escalation in Intel(R) VPL software","id":"CVE-2024-21808"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Denial of service in Intel(R) Ethernet Network Controllers and Adapters E810 Series","id":"CVE-2024-21806"},"products":["Intel(R) Ethernet Network Controllers and Adapters"],"published":"2024-08-14","related":[],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"no","exploitation":"none","technical_impact":"total"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-08-16","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"An authenticated local user can escalate privileges due to improper initialization in Intel Ethernet network adapter drivers.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-21807/"}
