Windows users and admins who’ve ever downloaded Intel’s Processor Diagnostic Tool (IPDT) should update to the latest versions of the 32-bit and 64-bit products.
According to Intel, IPDT version 4.1.2.24 and below suffer from “improper access control” that can be exploited by an authenticated local user to escalate privileges, leak information or cause a denial of service.
Intel has rated the severity of the bug as ‘high’, with a CVSS version 3 score of 8.2, because although the attacker must be local, the bug doesn’t require a complex attack to exploit it.
