What is CVE-2025-25216?
CVE-2025-25216 is a low-severity denial of service vulnerability in Intel(R) Graphics Drivers and Intel LTS kernels, published on 11 Nov 2025. It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.
Official description
Improper input validation in some firmware for some Intel(R) Graphics Drivers and Intel LTS kernels within Ring 1: Device Drivers may allow a denial of service. Unprivileged software adversary with an authenticated user combined with a low complexity attack may enable denial of service. This result may potentially occur via local access when attack requirements are present with special internal knowledge and requires no user interaction. The potential vulnerability may impact the confidentiality (none), integrity (none) and availability (low) of the vulnerable system, resulting in subsequent system confidentiality (none), integrity (none) and availability (none) impacts.
