Doc Text:	A flaw was found in vtune. A local authenticated attacker can exploit a time-of-check to time-of-use (TOCTOU) race condition within the device driver component to achieve privilege escalation. By altering resources between the time they are verified and when they are operated upon, an unprivileged user can gain elevated system permissions.	Story Points:	---

Description OSIDB Bzimport 2026-11-10 19:17:33 UTC

Time-of-check time-of-use race condition for the Intel(R) VTune(TM) Profiler software before version 2026.0.0 within Ring 1: Device Drivers may allow an escalation of privilege. Unprivileged software adversary with an authenticated user combined with a low complexity attack may enable escalation of privilege. This result may potentially occur via local access when attack requirements are not present without special internal knowledge and requires no user interaction. The potential vulnerability may impact the confidentiality (high), integrity (high) and availability (high) of the vulnerable system, resulting in subsequent system confidentiality (none), integrity (none) and availability (none) impacts.
