6.0 · MEDIUMOverview
CVE-2025-24851 is a medium-severity vulnerability affecting intel ethernet_controller. It was published on February 10, 2026 and has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 6.0 (MEDIUM).
This vulnerability has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 6.0, rated MEDIUM. It requires local or adjacent network access to exploit. Some level of privileges is required for exploitation.
Technical Description
Uncaught exception in the firmware for some 100GbE Intel(R) Ethernet Controller E810 before version cvl fw 1.7.8.x within Ring 0: Bare Metal OS may allow a denial of service. System software adversary with a privileged 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 without 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.
Remediation
Check the references section for vendor advisories and patches from intel. Update ethernet_controller to the latest patched version. If immediate patching is not possible, review the CVSS vector to understand the attack surface and apply compensating controls such as network segmentation or access restrictions.
