## Overview

Deserialization of untrusted data for some Intel(R) Extension for PyTorch before version 2.8.0 within Ring 3: User Applications may allow an escalation of privilege. Unprivileged software adversary with an unauthenticated user combined with a low complexity attack may enable escalation of privilege. This result may potentially occur via local access when attack requirements are not present without special internal knowledge and requires active user interaction. The potential vulnerability may impact the confidentiality (low), integrity (low) and availability (low) of the vulnerable system, resulting in subsequent system confidentiality (none), integrity (none) and availability (none) impacts.

## Affected

- `extension_for_pytorch < 2.8.0`
- `extension_for_pytorch <= 2.8.10`

## Remediation

Upgrade past the affected range:

- `extension_for_pytorch 2.8.0`
