Synopsis

The Intel Driver Update Utility installed on the remote Windows host is affected by a man-in-the-middle vulnerability.

Description

The version of the Intel Driver Update Utility installed on the remote host is 2.x prior to 2.4. It is, therefore, affected by a man-in-the-middle vulnerability due to the transmission of driver updates in cleartext. A man-in-the-middle attacker can exploit this to disclose or manipulate data, potentially resulting in the execution of arbitrary code via a crafted malicious update.

Solution

Upgrade to Intel Driver Update Utility version 2.4 or later.
