CVE-2024-29076
CVE-2024-29076: Denial of Service vulnerability in Intel(R) CST software. An authenticated user can potentially trigger a denial-of-service condition via local access in some Intel(R) CST software versions before 8.7.10803 due to an uncaught exception. This vulnerability allows a local attacker to disrupt the availability of the Intel(R) CST software. Although the CVSS score is 0, indicating a low base severity, the SOCRadar Vulnerability Risk Score (SVRS) is 30, suggesting a moderate level of risk when considering real-world exploitability and threat landscape. The SVRS score reflects potential risks from threat actors and observed activity in the wild. Organizations using affected versions of Intel(R) CST software should upgrade to version 8.7.10803 or later to mitigate this vulnerability and prevent potential service disruptions. The vulnerability's exploitation could lead to operational impacts, emphasizing the need for timely patching.
Description
CVE-2024-29076 is a vulnerability affecting Intel(R) CST software versions prior to 8.7.10803. This vulnerability allows an authenticated user to potentially trigger a denial of service (DoS) condition by exploiting an uncaught exception.
While the CVSS score is 5.5, indicating a medium severity, the SVRS score of 30 signifies that the vulnerability is not considered critically urgent and requires less immediate action.
Key Insights
- Authentication Required: This vulnerability requires an authenticated user to trigger the DoS. This means attackers need to have valid credentials to exploit this vulnerability.
- Local Access Needed: The attacker needs local access to the system to exploit the vulnerability, limiting the impact to internal threats or attackers who have already compromised the system.
- Denial of Service: The vulnerability primarily leads to a denial of service condition, meaning the affected system may become unresponsive or inaccessible. This may disrupt operations but is unlikely to result in data breaches or sensitive information leaks.
- Exploitation Status: Currently, there is no evidence of active exploits targeting this vulnerability. This means the vulnerability is not yet actively exploited in the wild.
Mitigation Strategies
- Upgrade to Latest Version: Users should update to Intel(R) CST version 8.7.10803 or later to address this vulnerability.
- Network Segmentation: Implementing network segmentation can isolate the affected system and limit the potential impact of an exploit.
- Regular Security Audits: Conducting regular security audits helps identify potential vulnerabilities and vulnerabilities that might be exploited for malicious purposes.
- Strong Authentication: Ensuring strong password policies and multi-factor authentication can help prevent unauthorized access to the system and mitigate the impact of the vulnerability.
