Intel VTune Profiler < 2024.1 Privilege Escalation

medium Nessus Plugin ID 205657

Synopsis

The remote host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

The version of Intel VTune Profiler installed on the remote host is prior to 2024.1. It is, therefore, affected by a privilege escalation vulnerability.

- Uncontrolled search path in some Intel(R) VTune(TM) Profiler software before versions 2024.1 may allow an authenticated user to potentially enable escalation of privilege via local access. (CVE-2024-29015)

- Uncontrolled search path in some EMON software before version 11.44 may allow an authenticated user to potentially enable escalation of privilege via local access. (CVE-2024-28953)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Upgrade to Intel VTune Profiler version 2024.1 or later.
