Intel NPU Driver: denial of service
Medium6.9CVE-2026-20783 · Published Aug 11, 2026 · updated Aug 31, 2026
Improper conditions check in the firmware for the Intel(R) NPU Driver for all versions within Ring 1: Device Drivers 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 without special internal knowledge and requires no user interaction. The potential vulnerability may impact the confidentiality (none), integrity (low) and availability (high) of the vulnerable system, resulting in subsequent system confidentiality (none), integrity (none) and availability (none) impacts.
