Does this matter?

Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.09%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.

Description

Improper authorization in the Intel(R) Quick Assist Technology for some Intel(R) Platforms within Ring 0: Kernel may allow a denial of service. Unprivileged software adversary with an authenticated user combined with a low complexity attack may enable denial of service. This result may potentially occur via local access when attack requirements are not present with special internal knowledge and requires no user interaction. The potential vulnerability may impact the confidentiality (none), integrity (none) and availability (high) of the vulnerable system, resulting in subsequent system confidentiality (none), integrity (none) and availability (none) impacts.
