Intel is warning of a high-severity vulnerability in its performance analysis tool called Intel VTune Profiler.

"Improper access control in driver for Intel VTune Amplifier for Windows before update 8 may allow an authenticated user to potentially enable escalation of privilege via local access," according to an Intel security update.

As part of its regularly-scheduled updates, Intel also released patches addressing four "Medium" severity flaws and one "Low" severity vulnerability.

Intel also patched a medium-severity flaw in the Intel RAID Web Console 3 for Windows, which enables users to configure the Intel RAID Controllers and disk drives installed on a system.

Other flaws include an information disclosure flaw in the Intel Chipset Device Software INF Utility and low-severity flaw in the Intel Data Analytics Acceleration Library that could enable information disclosure.
