Improper permissions in the installer for the Intel(R) Processor Identification Utility before version 6.4.0603 may allow an authenticated user to potentially enable escalation of privilege via local access.

Weakness

The product does not preserve permissions or incorrectly preserves permissions when copying, restoring, or sharing objects, which can cause them to have less restrictive permissions than intended.
