## Overview

Protection mechanism failure for some Intel(R) Workload Services Framework software within Ring 3: User Applications may allow an escalation of privilege. Unprivileged software adversary with a privileged user combined with a low complexity attack may enable escalation of privilege. This result may potentially occur via local access when attack requirements are present without special internal knowledge and requires passive user interaction. The potential vulnerability may impact the confidentiality (high), integrity (high) and availability (high) of the vulnerable system, resulting in subsequent system confidentiality (none), integrity (none) and availability (none) impacts.

## Affected

- `workload_sevices_framework < 25.27`

## Remediation

Upgrade past the affected range:

- `workload_sevices_framework 25.27`
