CVE-2022-21133
Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.
NVD · uneditedOut-of-bounds read in the Intel(R) Trace Analyzer and Collector before version 2021.5 may allow an authenticated user to potentially enable denial of service via local access.
Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.
dbcve analysis · moderate confidenceOut-of-bounds read vulnerability in Intel(R) Trace Analyzer and Collector versions before 2021.5. An authenticated local user may trigger this vulnerability potentially leading to denial of service via application crash or hang.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.
dbcve checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Check if Intel Trace Analyzer is installedLook for Intel Trace Analyzer and Collector installation on the system, typically in standard program directories or via package manager listingsAffected if The software is not found, the vulnerability does not apply
-
Determine the installed versionUse the application's version detection method, such as running 'itac --version' from command line, checking the product's About/Help menu, or reviewing installation metadataAffected if The version cannot be determined, the vulnerability status is unknown
-
Compare installed version to affected rangeCheck if the installed version is any version before 2021.5 (e.g., 2021.4, 2021.3, 2021.2, 2021.1, 2021.0, or earlier major versions)Affected if The installed version is 2021.5 or later, the system is not affected by this specific CVE; if the version is before 2021.5, the system is potentially affected
A system is affected if Intel Trace Analyzer and Collector is installed and the version is confirmed to be any release before 2021.5.
