  - Improper control of dynamically-managed code resources for some Intel(R) NPU Drivers within Ring 3: User
    Applications 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
    passive 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. (CVE-2025-26405)
