| Last revised: | 11/10/2026 |
Summary:
Potential security vulnerabilities for some Intel® VTune™ Profiler software may allow escalation of privilege or denial of service. Intel is releasing software updates to mitigate these potential vulnerabilities.
Vulnerability Details:
CVEID: CVE-2026-32667
Description: Out-of-bounds write for the Intel® VTune™ Profiler software within Ring 1: Device Drivers may allow an escalation of privilege. Unprivileged software adversary with an authenticated 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 no 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.
CVSS Base Score: 8.5 High

CVEID: CVE-2026-34016
Description: Time-of-check time-of-use race condition for the Intel® VTune™ Profiler software before version 2026.0.0 within Ring 1: Device Drivers may allow an escalation of privilege. Unprivileged software adversary with an authenticated 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 no 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.

The following issue was found internally by Intel, CVE-2026-33567.
Intel, and nearly the entire technology industry, follows a disclosure practice called Coordinated Disclosure, under which a cybersecurity vulnerability is generally publicly disclosed only after mitigations are available.
Intel researchers conduct offensive security reviews as part of our Secure Development Lifecycle (SDL) framework. This includes using advanced analysis and AI-assisted diagnostic tools to simulate adversary capabilities and proactively address potential vulnerabilities prior to external exposure, limiting attacker advantage.
