CVE-2022-30691
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 · uneditedUncontrolled resource consumption in the Intel(R) Support Android application before version 22.02.28 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 · high confidenceUncontrolled resource consumption in the Intel Support Android application before version 22.02.28 allows an authenticated user with local (physical) access to potentially cause denial of service by exhausting device resources.

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 Support app is installedOpen Android Settings > Apps > Apps list and search for 'Intel Support', or use ADB command: adb shell pm list packages | grep intel.supportAffected if The Intel Support application is present on the device
-
Check installed Intel Support versionGo to Android Settings > Apps > Intel Support > App info > Version, or use ADB: adb shell dumpsys package com.intel.android.support | grep versionNameAffected if Version shown is below 22.02.28 (e.g., 22.02.27, 22.01.x, older)
-
Confirm device allows local authenticated accessVerify the Android device lock screen is configured (PIN, password, biometric) and the device is not in a kiosk or restricted mode that bypasses authenticationAffected if A local authenticated user can access the device after authentication is satisfied
If Intel Support Android app is installed at a version earlier than 22.02.28 and a local authenticated user can access the device, the environment is affected by this vulnerability.
Generated from the published advisory. Verify against your own configuration.
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.
