Detailsinfo

A vulnerability was found in Intel Graphics Drivers (Hardware Driver Software) (the affected version is unknown) and classified as problematic. This issue affects an unknown code of the component Unified Shader Compiler. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a input validation vulnerability. Using CWE to declare the problem leads to CWE-20. The product receives input or data, but it does not validate or incorrectly validates that the input has the properties that are required to process the data safely and correctly. Impacted is availability. The summary by CVE is:

Denial of Service in Unified Shader Compiler in Intel Graphics Drivers before 10.18.x.5056 (aka 15.33.x.5056), 10.18.x.5057 (aka 15.36.x.5057) and 20.19.x.5058 (aka 15.40.x.5058) may allow an unprivileged user from a virtual machine guest to potentially crash the host system via local access.

The bug was discovered 10/09/2018. The weakness was presented 10/10/2018 by Piotr Bania with Cisco Talos (Website). The advisory is shared at intel.com. The identification of this vulnerability is CVE-2018-12153 since 06/11/2018. The exploitation is known to be easy. An attack has to be approached locally. No form of authentication is needed for a successful exploitation. Neither technical details nor an exploit are publicly available.

The vulnerability was handled as a non-public zero-day exploit for at least 1 days. During that time the estimated underground price was around $0-$5k.
