CVE-2023-23569
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 · uneditedStack-based buffer overflow for some Intel(R) Trace Analyzer and Collector software before version 2021.8.0 published Dec 2022 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 · high confidenceA stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability exists in Intel Trace Analyzer and Collector software versions prior to 2021.8.0. The flaw allows an authenticated local user to potentially escalate privileges by exploiting the buffer overflow on the stack.

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 Trace Analyzer and Collector installationSearch system installed programs or common Intel installation directories for 'Intel Trace Analyzer' or 'Trace Analyzer' componentsAffected if If not present, you are not affected by this vulnerability
-
Determine Intel Trace Analyzer and Collector versionLocate the version information for the installed Trace Analyzer and Collector software - check application properties, About dialog, or version documentationAffected if If version is below 2021.8.0, the vulnerability is present
-
Check Intel OneAPI HPC Toolkit version if installedFind the version of Intel OneAPI HPC Toolkit through installed program information or Intel installer detailsAffected if If version is below 2023.0.0 and includes Trace Analyzer components, the vulnerability is present
-
Confirm authenticated local user accessDetermine if local authenticated users can access and execute the Trace Analyzer and Collector softwareAffected if Exploitation requires an authenticated local user; if only privileged administrators have access, the practical risk is reduced but the vulnerable software still exists
You are affected if Intel Trace Analyzer and Collector is installed with a version prior to 2021.8.0, or if Intel OneAPI HPC Toolkit is present with a version prior to 2023.0.0

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 · scoped2021.8.02023.0.0
Upgrade Intel Trace Analyzer and Collector to version 2021.8.0 or later to remediate this vulnerability.
Intel Trace Analyzer and Collector 2021.8.0 or later; OneAPI HPC Toolkit 2023.0.0 or later
- Upgrade Intel Trace Analyzer and Collector to version 2021.8.0 or later
- If using OneAPI HPC Toolkit, upgrade to version 2023.0.0 or later which includes the fixed Trace Analyzer and Collector
- Apply the upgrade following standard Intel installation procedures for your platform
- Verify the installed version matches or exceeds the fixed release numbers
