CVE-2024-42410
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 input validation in some Intel(R) Graphics Drivers may allow an authenticated 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 Graphics Drivers contain an improper input validation vulnerability that allows an authenticated local user to trigger a denial of service condition. The vulnerability stems from insufficient validation of input data within the graphics driver components, potentially leading to system instability or crash when specially crafted input is processed.

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 Graphics Driver installationOpen Device Manager, expand 'Display adapters', and look for Intel GPU entries (e.g., Intel UHD Graphics, Iris Xe, Arc). Or run 'driverquery /v | findstr -i intel' in Command Prompt.Affected if No Intel graphics driver is listed, the system uses a different GPU vendor, or the driver is not present.
-
Retrieve the installed Intel Graphics Driver versionRight-click the Intel graphics device in Device Manager, select 'Properties', go to the 'Driver' tab, and note the 'Driver Version'. Alternatively, run 'wmic path win32_VideoController get name,driverversion' in Command Prompt.Affected if Unable to retrieve a driver version number, indicating the driver may not be properly installed.
-
Compare the installed version against Intel's fixed releasesVisit the official Intel Support website or release notes for Intel Graphics Drivers and locate the version that addresses CVE-2024-42410. Compare your installed driver version (from Step 2) against the patched version number.Affected if The installed driver version is lower than the version Intel has released as a patch for this CVE.
-
Verify local user authentication context appliesConfirm the system allows local user logon (default Windows behavior). The vulnerability requires an authenticated local user to trigger the improper input validation. Check via 'Local Security Policy' > 'Security Settings' > 'Local Policies' > 'User Rights Assignment' > 'Allow log on locally' to ensure local users can log in.Affected if The system does not permit local user authentication (e.g., remote-only access), which would prevent a local user from exploiting this vulnerability.
A user is affected if an Intel Graphics Driver is installed with a version lower than Intel's patched version for CVE-2024-42410, and the system permits local user authentication.

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 the latest Intel Graphics Driver updates provided by Intel to remediate this vulnerability. Organizations should deploy driver updates through their standard patch management processes and verify system stability after deployment.
