The vulnerability allows a local user to escalate privileges on the system.

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error. A local user can trigger an out-of-bounds write and execute arbitrary code with elevated privileges.

4) Integer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-23981)

CWE-ID: CWE-190 - Integer overflow

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear

The vulnerability allows a local user to escalate privileges on the system.

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error. A local user can trigger ab integer overflow and execute arbitrary code with elevated privileges.

5) Improper access control (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-24986)

CWE-ID: CWE-284 - Improper Access Control

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear

The vulnerability allows a local user to escalate privileges on the system.

The vulnerability exists due to improper access restrictions. A local user can execute arbitrary code with elevated privileges.

6) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-23499)

CWE-ID: CWE-20 - Improper input validation

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted input to the system and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

7) Improper Initialization (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-21807)

CWE-ID: CWE-665 - Improper Initialization

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear

The vulnerability allows a local user to escalate privileges on the system.

The vulnerability exists due to improper initialization. A local user can run a specially crafted application to execute arbitrary code with escalated privileges on the system.

8) Improper Check for Unusual or Exceptional Conditions (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-21806)

CWE-ID: CWE-754 - Improper Check for Unusual or Exceptional Conditions

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear

The vulnerability allows a local user to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to improper error handling in Linux kernel mode driver. A local user can perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

9) Untrusted search path (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-21769)

CWE-ID: CWE-426 - Untrusted Search Path

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear

The vulnerability allows a local user to escalate privileges on the system.

The vulnerability exists due to usage of an untrusted search path in some Intel(R) Ethernet Connection I219-LM install software. A local user can place a malicious binary into a specific location on the system and execute arbitrary code with escalated privileges.
