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 buffer restrictions in some Intel(R) RealSense(TM) ID software for Intel(R) RealSense(TM) 450 FA in version 0.25.0 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 · moderate confidence

Improper buffer restrictions in Intel RealSense ID software version 0.25.0 for the RealSense 450 FA facial authentication device may allow an authenticated local user to exploit a buffer overflow or similar memory corruption issue to escalate privileges to higher permission levels.

MitigationApply the vendor-supplied patch or update to a patched version of Intel RealSense ID software once available; until then, restrict local access to trusted authenticated users only and monitor for suspicious local activity.

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. Check if Intel RealSense ID software is installed
    Locate the Intel RealSense ID software installation on the system and retrieve its version number
    Affected if Version is 0.25.0 or earlier
  2. Identify connected RealSense 450 FA devices
    Use Intel RealSense SDK tools or system device managers to enumerate connected RealSense 450 FA facial authentication devices
    Affected if A RealSense 450 FA device is present and configured
  3. Query the device firmware version
    Query the firmware version of the RealSense 450 FA device through the RealSense ID software interface or SDK utilities
    Affected if Firmware version is 0.25.0 or earlier

The environment is affected if either the Intel RealSense ID software or the RealSense 450 FA device firmware is at version 0.25.0 or earlier and the 450 FA device is actively connected or configured.

Generated from the published advisory. Verify against your own configuration.

Check your environment

Paste your version and any relevant configuration and it will be compared against the affected criteria above. Do not include secrets or credentials.

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.

From vendor data
Upgrade available Upgrade to a release after 0.25.0
Interim mitigation

Apply the vendor-supplied patch or update to a patched version of Intel RealSense ID software once available; until then, restrict local access to trusted authenticated users only and monitor for suspicious local activity.
