Lifecycle Timeline
2DescriptionCVE.org
Uncontrolled resource consumption for some Intel(R) PROSet/Wireless WiFi Software for Windows within Ring 2: Device Drivers may allow a denial of service. Unprivileged software adversary with an unauthenticated 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 (low) impacts.
AnalysisAI
Uncontrolled resource consumption in the Intel PROSet/Wireless WiFi Software for Windows device driver (Ring 2) enables a local denial-of-service condition triggerable by an unprivileged process. The CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N) confirms a low-complexity, local-access scenario requiring no authentication and no user interaction, with high availability impact on the vulnerable system and a secondary low availability impact on the subsequent system. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Local access to the target machine is required - this vulnerability cannot be exploited remotely over a network (AV:L per CVSS 4.0). … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The CVSS 4.0 score of 6.9 places this in the medium tier, consistent with a local-only, availability-only impact. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | Full exploit scenario with step-by-step reproduction available after sign-in. |
| Remediation | Consult the Intel security advisory INTEL-SA-01422 at https://intel.com/content/www/us/en/security-center/advisory/intel-sa-01422.html to obtain the specific patched driver version. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
