Technical details
An integer underflow (wrap or wraparound) vulnerability exists in Intel Metrics Discovery API software before version 1.16.189, affecting Ring 3 user-mode applications. The flaw allows a local, authenticated adversary with low attack complexity to trigger a denial of service condition via local access without requiring special user interaction, though exploitation requires special internal knowledge of the API.
