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
Improper access control in some Intel(R) VROC software before version 8.0.8.1001 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 confidence

Improper access control in Intel VROC (Virtual RAID on CPU) software allows an authenticated local user to escalate privileges. The vulnerability stems from insufficient authorization checks in the software, permitting a user with standard access to gain higher-level privileges on the system.

MitigationUpgrade Intel VROC software to version 8.0.8.1001 or later. Apply all subsequent security updates as Intel releases them.

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. Verify Intel VROC installation
    Check if Intel VROC software is present on the system. Look for VROC-related services, drivers, or management tools. On Windows, check Program Files for Intel VROC directories; on Linux, check /opt or /usr/share for VROC packages.
    Affected if Intel VROC software is installed on the system
  2. Determine installed VROC version
    Retrieve the installed version of Intel VROC software. This may be found in the software's about dialog, in installed programs list, via command line (such as 'vroc --version' or 'rpm -q intel-vroc' on Linux), or in Windows Registry under Intel VROC entries.
    Affected if The version cannot be determined or is lower than 8.0.8.1001
  3. Confirm vulnerable version range
    Compare the installed version against the affected range: versions prior to 8.0.8.1001 are vulnerable.
    Affected if Installed version is less than 8.0.8.1001

A user is affected if Intel VROC software is installed and the installed version is below 8.0.8.1001.
