DescriptionCVE.org

Out-of-bounds write for some Intel(R) PROSet/Wireless WiFi Software for Windows within Ring 2: Device Drivers may allow a denial of service. Network adversary with an unauthenticated user combined with a low complexity attack may enable denial of service. This result may potentially occur via adjacent 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 (low) impacts.

AnalysisAI

Out-of-bounds write in Intel PROSet/Wireless WiFi Software for Windows (Ring 2: Device Drivers) enables a denial-of-service condition exploitable from adjacent network position without authentication. The memory corruption flaw in the Windows WiFi driver stack can be triggered with passive user interaction, causing high availability impact to the vulnerable system and a residual low availability impact to subsequently connected systems. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires the attacker to be on an adjacent network - specifically the same wireless broadcast domain or Layer-2 segment as the target (AV:A). … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The CVSS 4.0 score of 6.9 reflects an adjacent-network attack vector (AV:A), low attack complexity (AC:L), no special attack requirements (AT:N), no privileges required (PR:N), and passive user interaction (UI:P). … 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 The primary remediation is to apply the updated Intel PROSet/Wireless WiFi Software for Windows driver package referenced in Intel Security Advisory INTEL-SA-01422 (https://intel.com/content/www/us/en/security-center/advisory/intel-sa-01422.html). … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.
