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-2025-35973 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Intel(R) Processors. 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-2025-35973/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-35973/index.md)","id":"CVE-2025-35973","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-35973/index.md","name":"CVE-2025-35973","record":{"aliases":["ALPINE-CVE-2025-35973","BELL-CVE-2025-35973","CLSA-2026-1789116715","CLSA-2026-1789116898","CLSA-2026-1789117244","CLSA-2026-1790091171","CLSA-2026-1791485704","DEBIAN-CVE-2025-35973","GHSA-g4r3-3x88-prrw","UBUNTU-CVE-2025-35973"],"analysis":{"component_type":"hardware_firmware","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["privilege_escalation","data_read"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Intel Processors","requires_auth":"high_privilege","summary":"An authorized local adversary with privileged access can exploit improper value handling in Intel processors to escalate privileges and compromise system confidentiality and integrity.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"privilege_escalation"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"intel","cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":4.5,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:H/AT:P/PR:H/UI:N/VC:L/VI:L/VA:N/SC:H/SI:H/SA:N","version":"4.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-229","name":"Improper Handling of Values"}],"description":"Improper handling of values for some Intel(R) Processors within Ring 0: Kernel, Hypervisor and Bare Metal OS may allow an escalation of privilege.
