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 · unedited
Uncontrolled resource consumption for some Edge Orchestrator software before version 24.11.1 for Intel(R) Tiber(TM) Edge Platform may allow an authenticated user to potentially enable denial of service via adjacent 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 · high confidence

An uncontrolled resource consumption vulnerability in Intel(R) Tiber(TM) Edge Platform's Edge Orchestrator software (versions before 24.11.1) allows an authenticated attacker with adjacent network access to cause denial of service by exhausting system resources.

MitigationUpgrade Edge Orchestrator software to version 24.11.1 or later to remediate the vulnerability.

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 checks

Work through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.

  1. Identify Edge Orchestrator software version
    Check the installed version of Intel Tiber Edge Platform Edge Orchestrator software. This may be available through the software inventory, package manager, or by querying the service directly for its version information. Common locations include system package lists, Intel deployment tools, or service banner grabbing if the service exposes version details.
    Affected if The installed version is any version prior to 24.11.1 (e.g., 24.x versions below 24.11.1, or earlier major versions).
  2. Verify adjacent network accessibility
    Determine if the Edge Orchestrator service is accessible from adjacent network segments. Check firewall rules, network ACLs, or service binding configurations that control whether the service port is exposed to network neighbors rather than being restricted to localhost or internal management networks.
    Affected if The Edge Orchestrator service port is reachable from adjacent network segments, allowing an attacker with adjacent network access to communicate with the service.
  3. Confirm authentication mechanism status
    Review whether local or network authentication for the Edge Orchestrator service is enabled and functional. Check if the service requires authentication for API or management interface access.
    Affected if Authentication is enabled but the service remains vulnerable to resource exhaustion attacks from an authenticated attacker.

You are affected if Edge Orchestrator software version is detected as lower than 24.11.1 AND the service is accessible from adjacent network segments to an authenticated attacker.

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.

Mitigation available No clean upgrade yet — mitigate in the meantime
Mitigation

Upgrade Edge Orchestrator software to version 24.11.1 or later to remediate the vulnerability.

Recommended fix High confidence

24.11.1
