Synopsis

The remote host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

The version of Intel Extreme Tuning Utility installed on the remote host is prior to 7.14.0.15. It is, therefore, affected by an insecure permission vulnerability as referenced in the intel-sa-01066 advisory.

 - Insecure inherited permissions in some Intel® XTU software before version 7.14.0.15 may allow an authenticated user to potentially enable escalation of privilege via local access
