## How to fix

- Fixed in Intel Arc graphics driver 32.0.101.8801 or later, Intel Arc Pro graphics driver 32.0.101.8804 or later, Intel Graphics Driver for 11th-14th Gen Core processors 32.0.101.7088 or later, Intel Graphics Software 26.14.2303.1 or later

## Technical details

An uncontrolled search path in Intel Graphics Software (before version 26.14.2303.1) in Ring 3 User Applications allows privilege escalation. The attack requires local access, an authenticated user account, high attack complexity, and active user interaction. A successful exploit grants the attacker elevated privileges within the graphics driver context, with potential impact to system confidentiality, integrity, and availability.

## Affected products

- Intel Arc graphics driver before 32.0.101.8801
- Intel Arc Pro graphics driver before 32.0.101.8804
- Intel Graphics Driver for 11th-14th Gen Core processors before 32.0.101.7088
- Intel Graphics Software before 26.14.2303.1
