CVE-2018-12131
Permissions in the driver pack installers for Intel NVMe before version 4.0.0.1007 and Intel RSTe before version 4.7.0.2083 may allow an authenticated user to potentially escalate privilege via local access.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (0.28%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
