CVE-2022-30531
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) Iris(R) Xe MAX drivers for Windows before version 100.0.5.1474 may allow a privileged user to potentially enable information disclosure 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 · high confidenceAn out-of-bounds read vulnerability exists in Intel Iris Xe MAX graphics drivers for Windows prior to version 100.0.5.1474. This memory safety flaw allows a privileged local user to read beyond allocated buffer boundaries, potentially exposing sensitive information from kernel memory.

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 Iris Xe MAX graphics hardware is presentOpen Device Manager, expand 'Display adapters', and confirm an Intel Iris Xe MAX graphics device is listed. Alternatively, run 'wmic path win32_VideoController get name' in Command Prompt.Affected if No Intel Iris Xe MAX graphics hardware is found in the system, so this CVE does not apply
-
Check installed driver versionIn Device Manager, right-click the Intel Iris Xe MAX device, select 'Properties', go to the 'Driver' tab, and record the driver version shown. Alternatively, run 'wmic path win32_VideoController get name,driverversion' in Command Prompt to retrieve version programmatically.Affected if Unable to retrieve a driver version for the Intel Iris Xe MAX device
-
Compare driver version to the fixed releaseCompare the installed driver version to 100.0.5.1474. Any version lower than 100.0.5.1474 is within the vulnerable range. Version 100.0.5.1474 and later contain the fix.Affected if Installed driver version is numerically less than 100.0.5.1474
The system is affected if Intel Iris Xe MAX graphics hardware is present and the installed driver version is below 100.0.5.1474.

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 · scoped100.0.5.1474
Update Intel Iris Xe MAX graphics drivers to version 100.0.5.1474 or later via Intel's driver download center or your system's standard driver update mechanism.
