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 Flex Series driverOpen Device Manager, expand 'Display adapters', look for Intel Data Center GPU Flex Series or Intel Xe GPU entriesAffected if The system does not have an Intel Data Center GPU Flex Series GPU/driver installed
-
Check driver version via Device ManagerRight-click the Intel GPU device in Device Manager, select Properties, go to the Driver tab, note the Driver Version fieldAffected if Driver version is below 31.0.101.4255 (compare each numeric segment: 31.0.101.4255)
-
Verify driver version via Windows RegistryOpen Registry Editor, navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\igfxCUIService\Parameters\DriverVersion (path may vary) or check under HKLM\SOFTWARE\Intel\GFX\DRS\CurrentConfig for driver detailsAffected if The registry driver version value is lower than 31.0.101.4255
A user is affected if they have an Intel Data Center GPU Flex Series Windows driver installed with a version number lower than 31.0.101.4255.
