MEDIUMCVSS 4.8/10

Last modified

CVE-2026-60141 is a medium-severity vulnerability rated 4.8/10 on the CVSS scale. Improper null termination for some Intel(R) Metrics Discovery Application Programming Interface before version 1.16.189 within Ring 3: User Applications may allow a denial of service. Unprivileged software adversary with an authenticated user combined with a low complexity attack may enable denial of service.

Description

Improper null termination for some Intel(R) Metrics Discovery Application Programming Interface before version 1.16.189 within Ring 3: User Applications may allow a denial of service. Unprivileged software adversary with an authenticated user combined with a low complexity attack may enable denial of service. This result may potentially occur via local access when attack requirements are not present with special internal knowledge and requires no user interaction. The potential vulnerability may impact the confidentiality (none), integrity (none) and availability (low) of the vulnerable system, resulting in subsequent system confidentiality (none), integrity (none) and availability (none) impacts.
