CVE-2024-39758
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 access control for some Intel(R) Arc™ & Iris(R) Xe graphics software before version 31.0.101.4032 may allow an authenticated user to potentially enable denial of service via local access.

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 Arc or Iris Xe graphics software is installedOpen Windows Settings > Apps & Features and search for 'Intel Graphics', 'Intel Arc', or 'Iris Xe'. Alternatively, check Device Manager > Display adapters for Intel Arc or Iris Xe GPU.Affected if Intel Arc or Iris Xe graphics software is present on the system
-
Locate the Intel graphics software versionOpen Intel Graphics Command Center or Intel Graphics Control Panel, then navigate to Settings > About or Help > Version to view the installed software version. Alternatively, open Device Manager, expand Display adapters, right-click the Intel GPU, select Properties, and check the Driver version field.Affected if Version displayed is lower than 31.0.101.4032
-
Confirm the specific software component versionCheck the driver version through DirectX Diagnostic Tool (dxdiag.exe) - go to the Display tab and note the Driver Version. Or use Intel Driver & Support Assistant if installed to view the graphics driver version.Affected if Driver version shown is earlier than 31.0.101.4032
User is affected if Intel Arc or Iris Xe graphics software is installed and the version or driver version is below 31.0.101.4032.

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 · scopedUpdate Intel Arc and Iris Xe graphics software to version 31.0.101.4032 or later to remediate the vulnerability.
Intel Arc & Iris Xe graphics software version 31.0.101.4032 or later
- Identify the current version of Intel(R) Arc™ or Iris(R) Xe graphics software installed on the system via Device Manager or Intel Driver & Support Assistant
- Navigate to Intel's official support website or download center to obtain the graphics driver version 31.0.101.4032 or later
- Download the appropriate driver package for your specific graphics hardware model and Windows version
- Run the installer and follow the on-screen prompts to update the graphics software
- Restart the system after installation completes to ensure the new driver is properly loaded
- Verify the installed version matches or exceeds 31.0.101.4032 via Device Manager or Intel utility
