dbcve checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Locate Intel Unite Client Extended Display Plugin installationSearch for the plugin in the system: check Program Files for 'Intel Unite' or 'Extended Display' folders, or query installed programs via registry at HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\UninstallAffected if The plugin is not found on the system (not affected)
