Security News > 2021 > June > Intel Releases 29 Advisories to Describe 73 Vulnerabilities Affecting Its Products
Intel this week announced the availability of patches for 73 vulnerabilities identified across multiple products, including several high-severity flaws that can be exploited to escalate privileges.
The most severe of the newly addressed flaws is a high-severity incomplete cleanup issue in Intel VT-d products that could allow an authenticated user to enable escalation of privilege via local access.
Intel on Tuesday announced patches for a total of four vulnerabilities in the Intel Security Library, but only one of them - CVE-2021-0133 - has been rated high severity and could potentially enable escalation of privilege via network access.
High-severity flaws leading to escalation of privilege were addressed in the BIOS firmware of some Intel processors, in RealSense ID, and FPGA OPAE Driver for Linux.
Intel also released patches for tens of medium- and low-severity vulnerabilities in Brand Verification Tool, Rapid Storage Technology software, Optane DC Persistent Memory for Windows, SSD Data Center Tool, Computing Improvement Program, VTune Profiler, BlueZ, and various other products.
Details on all of the addressed vulnerabilities can be found on Intel's security portal.
