Detailsinfo

A vulnerability was found in Intel 800 Series Ethernet up to 1.17.1. It has been classified as critical. This affects an unknown code block of the component Linux Kernel-Mode Driver. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a integer overflow vulnerability. CWE is classifying the issue as CWE-190. The product performs a calculation that can produce an integer overflow or wraparound, when the logic assumes that the resulting value will always be larger than the original value. This can introduce other weaknesses when the calculation is used for resource management or execution control. This is going to have an impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The summary by CVE is:

Integer overflow or wraparound in the Linux kernel-mode driver for some Intel(R) 800 Series Ethernet before version 1.17.2 may allow an authenticated user to potentially enable escalation of privilege via local access.

It is possible to read the advisory at intel.com. This vulnerability is uniquely identified as CVE-2025-22836 since 01/23/2025. The exploitability is told to be difficult. Attacking locally is a requirement. The technical details are unknown and an exploit is not publicly available.
