INTEL(R) METRICS DISCOVERY APPLICATION PROGRAMMING INTERFACE · CVE-2026-60141 · Infrastructure
NO FIX YET · SEE WHAT TO DO
Some versions of Intel's Metrics Discovery Application Programming Interface do not properly null-terminate certain data, so a local unprivileged user-level program can cause a denial of service. The flaw affects availability only; confidentiality and integrity are not affected.

Only systems with Intel Metrics Discovery API before 1.16.189 installed are exposed, and the attacker must already have a local user account on the machine. Systems without this API installed, or with it at 1.16.189 or later, can skip it.
Not affected if no-local-untrusted-users, version-1.16.189-or-later
Who cares intel, local-users, windows
1.16.189 or laterImproper null termination for some Intel(R) Metrics Discovery Application Programming Interface before version 1.16.189 within Ring 3: User Applications may allow a denial of service. Unprivileged software adversary with an authenticated user combined with a low complexity attack may enable denial of service. This result may potentially occur via local access when attack requirements are not present with special internal knowledge and requires no user interaction. The potential vulnerability may impact the confidentiality (none), integrity (none) and availability (low) of the vulnerable system, resulting in subsequent system confidentiality (none), integrity (none) and availability (none) impacts.
