CVE-2023-35003
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 · uneditedPath transversal 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 · moderate confidenceA path traversal vulnerability in Intel VROC (Virtual RAID on CPU) software versions prior to 8.0.8.1001 allows an authenticated local user to manipulate file paths and potentially escalate privileges. The vulnerability requires local system access and valid authentication.

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 VROC software is installedCheck for Intel VROC installation via system inventory, installed programs list, or by looking for VROC-related services and binaries on the systemAffected if Intel VROC software is not found on the system, the user is not affected by this CVE
-
Determine installed VROC versionUse system tools to query the installed Intel VROC version (such as checking the software version through the VROC management interface, installer information, or system package information)Affected if The installed version cannot be determined or the software is not present, further checks are not applicable
-
Compare version against vulnerable rangeCompare the identified version number to the affected range: any version prior to 8.0.8.1001 is vulnerableAffected if Installed version is less than 8.0.8.1001 (for example, 8.0.7.x, 8.0.6.x, or earlier), the system is potentially affected by the path traversal vulnerability
-
Confirm local authentication is enabledVerify that local user authentication for VROC is configured and accessible (since the vulnerability requires an authenticated local user)Affected if Local authentication is not configured or the VROC management interface is not accessible to local users, exploitation may not be possible despite the vulnerable version
A system is affected if Intel VROC software is installed with a version prior to 8.0.8.1001 and local authenticated access to VROC is available.

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 · scoped8.0.8.1001
Update Intel VROC software to version 8.0.8.1001 or later to address the path traversal vulnerability.
8.0.8.1001
- Identify the current version of Intel VROC software installed on the system
- Navigate to the Intel website or support portal to download VROC version 8.0.8.1001 or later
- Verify the integrity of the downloaded package using checksums if provided
- Follow Intel's standard installation procedure for VROC software updates
- Restart the system if required by the update installation
- Confirm the updated version is 8.0.8.1001 or higher
