Lifecycle Timeline
2DescriptionCVE.org
Improper buffer restrictions for some Intel(R) PROSet/Wireless WiFi Software for Windows within Ring 0: Kernel 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 adjacent 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 (high) impacts.
AnalysisAI
Kernel-mode denial of service in Intel PROSet/Wireless WiFi Software for Windows allows an adjacent unauthenticated attacker to crash the target system by triggering an improper buffer restriction in the Ring 0 (kernel-level) WiFi driver component. The vulnerability carries a CVSS 4.0 score of 8.3, requires no authentication or user interaction, and is confined to adjacent-network attackers. …

Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | The attacker must be physically or logically adjacent to the target - on the same wireless network segment, sharing the same access point, or on the same LAN - per the CVSS 4.0 AV:A metric. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The CVSS 4.0 score of 8.3 is primarily driven by the zero-barrier adjacency exploitation path: no authentication (PR:N), no user interaction (UI:N), and low complexity (AC:L). … 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-01468 (https://intel.com/content/www/us/en/security-center/advisory/intel-sa-01468.html) for the specific patched version of Intel PROSet/Wireless WiFi Software for Windows; a patch is available per the vendor advisory, but the exact fixed version number is not independently confirmed from the available NVD or CPE data. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
Recommended ActionAI
Within 24 hours, conduct a rapid inventory of all Windows systems using Intel PROSet/Wireless WiFi Software by checking Device Manager for Intel WiFi adapter drivers and note which systems are on untrusted or public wireless networks. …
