CVE-2022-29919
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 · uneditedUse after free in the Intel(R) VROC software before version 7.7.6.1003 may allow an authenticated user to potentially enable escalation of privilege 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 confidenceA use-after-free vulnerability exists in Intel VROC (Virtual RAID on CPU) software versions prior to 7.7.6.1003. This memory corruption flaw allows an authenticated local attacker to exploit freed memory, potentially achieving privilege escalation.
Verify against the referenced sources before acting — the references below are authoritative for this CVE, this summary is not.

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.
-
Verify Intel VROC is installedCheck for Intel Virtual RAID on CPU software on the system. This is typically found in Intel RAID controller systems and may appear in installed programs list, device manager, or system services.Affected if Intel VROC software is present on the system
-
Locate the installed versionFind the version information for Intel VROC. This is typically available through the Intel VROC software UI, in system registry under Intel RAID components, or via the VROC driver/service version information.Affected if Version information cannot be located or VROC is not found
-
Compare version against affected rangeCompare the installed VROC version number to the affected version threshold of 7.7.6.1003. The vulnerability exists in any version lower than 7.7.6.1003.Affected if Installed version is less than 7.7.6.1003
The environment is affected if Intel VROC software is installed and its version number is below 7.7.6.1003.

Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
dbcve · scoped7.7.6.1003
Update Intel VROC software to version 7.7.6.1003 or later. Verify the update in production environments after testing.
7.7.6.1003
- Check current Intel VROC software version using system inventory or Intel VROC management tools
- Download Intel VROC software version 7.7.6.1003 or later from Intel's support website (www.intel.com)
- Apply the update following Intel's standard VROC software update procedure, typically through the Intel VROC driver/package installer
- Restart the system as required by the update installation
- Verify the installed version is 7.7.6.1003 or later
