CVE-2024-24580
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 · uneditedImproper conditions check in some Intel(R) Data Center GPU Max Series 1100 and 1550 products may allow a privileged user to potentially enable denial of service 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 confidenceIntel Data Center GPU Max Series 1100 and 1550 products contain an improper conditions check vulnerability that allows a privileged user with local access to potentially cause a denial of service. This is a logic error in condition validation within the GPU firmware or driver software.

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.
-
Identify Intel Data Center GPU Max modelRun 'lspci | grep -i vga' or 'lspci | grep -i gpu' to list GPU hardware. Look for 'Intel Data Center GPU Max 1100' or 'Intel Data Center GPU Max 1550' in the output.Affected if The system contains an Intel Data Center GPU Max 1100 or 1550 device.
-
Check GPU firmware versionUse Intel GPU management tool such as 'xpu-smi' if installed: run 'xpu-smi device-info' or 'xpu-smi list'. Otherwise check system firmware/BIOS tools or Intel GPU deployment documentation for firmware version retrieval methods.Affected if Any firmware version is reported on a Data Center GPU Max 1100 or 1550 (all versions are affected).
-
Verify presence of local privileged accessReview system user accounts and group memberships with access to GPU management interfaces. Check if non-administrator users have permissions to execute GPU management commands or access GPU device files in /dev.Affected if Multiple local users or groups have privileged access to GPU management interfaces without strict access controls.
-
Check for GPU management softwareList installed Intel GPU software packages: on Linux run 'dpkg -l | grep -i intel' or 'rpm -qa | grep -i intel'. Look for GPU driver packages, oneAPI, or compute runtime components.Affected if Intel GPU driver or compute runtime software for Data Center GPU Max series is installed.
-
Monitor for GPU denial of service indicatorsCheck system logs (/var/log/messages, journalctl) and GPU-specific logs for repeated failures, hangs, or reset events. Run 'xpu-smi diag' if available to check GPU health status.Affected if Repeated GPU reset events, hang notifications, or error messages involving the Intel Data Center GPU appear in logs.
A system is affected if it contains an Intel Data Center GPU Max 1100 or 1550 with any firmware version and has local privileged users who could trigger the logic error in condition validation.

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 dataApply Intel-provided firmware/software updates for the Data Center GPU Max Series when available. Restrict local access to trusted privileged users and monitor for signs of DoS conditions on affected GPU systems.
