CVE-2013-1634 is a high-severity vulnerability rated 7.5/10 on the CVSS scale. A denial of service vulnerability exists in some motherboard implementations of Intel e1000e/82574L network controller devices through 2013-02-06 where the device can be brought into a non-processing state when parsing 32 hex, 33 hex, or 34 hex byte values at the 0x47f offset. NOTE: A followup statement from Intel suggests that the root cause of this issue was an incorrectly configured EEPROM image.. EPSS estimates a 2.49% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
