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 · unedited
Integer overflow in the Intel(R) Trace Analyzer and Collector software before version 2021.5 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.

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 checks

Work through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.

  1. Confirm Intel Trace Analyzer and Collector installation
    Check for the presence of Intel Trace Analyzer and Collector software on the system. Look in common installation directories such as C:\Program Files\Intel\ or /opt/intel/, or use system inventory tools to list installed Intel software.
    Affected if The software is installed on the system.
  2. Locate the installed version information
    Find the version of Intel Trace Analyzer and Collector. Check the software's About or Help menu, or look for version files in the installation directory. On Windows, you may also check the installed programs list in Control Panel.
    Affected if You are unable to locate version information for the software.
  3. Compare installed version to affected range
    Compare the identified version against the affected range: versions prior to 2021.5 are vulnerable. If the exact version cannot be determined, assume the latest installed version is the one to evaluate.
    Affected if The installed version is any release prior to 2021.5 (for example, 2021.4, 2021.3, 2021.2, 2021.1, 2021.0, or earlier major versions).
  4. Verify local user authentication context
    Confirm whether local user accounts exist on the system where Intel Trace Analyzer and Collector is installed. The vulnerability requires an authenticated local user to potentially exploit the integer overflow.
    Affected if Local user accounts exist on the system and the software version is below 2021.5.

If Intel Trace Analyzer and Collector is installed and the version is identified as anything earlier than 2021.5, the environment is affected by this vulnerability.
