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 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 (low) impacts.

AnalysisAI

Out-of-bounds write in Intel PROSet/Wireless WiFi Software for Windows device drivers (Ring 2) allows adjacent network attackers to trigger a denial of service condition without authentication or user interaction. Unauthenticated attackers on the same network segment can exploit this CWE-787 buffer overflow flaw with low complexity, causing high availability impact to the affected Windows system and low residual availability impact on subsequent systems. No public exploit code and no CISA KEV listing exist at time of analysis.

Technical ContextAI

The vulnerability resides in Ring 2 (device driver space) of Intel's PROSet/Wireless WiFi Software for Windows, identified via CPE cpe:2.3:a:n/a:intel(r)_proset/wireless_wifi_software_for_windows. CWE-787 (Out-of-Bounds Write) occurs when the WiFi driver writes data beyond the bounds of an allocated memory buffer - most likely during processing of specially crafted 802.11 wireless frames or WiFi management packets received over the adjacent network. Writing past buffer boundaries in kernel/driver space corrupts adjacent memory structures, causing system instability or crashes (BSOD on Windows). The Ring 2 designation indicates this executes at device driver privilege level, meaning memory corruption in this layer directly impacts system stability without needing to escalate into Ring 0.

RemediationAI

The primary remediation is to apply the patch referenced in Intel Security Advisory INTEL-SA-01422 at https://intel.com/content/www/us/en/security-center/advisory/intel-sa-01422.html - consult that advisory for the exact fixed driver version, as no specific patch version number was included in the available input data. As an interim compensating control, disabling the Intel WiFi adapter (via Device Manager) on systems where wireless connectivity is non-essential removes the attack surface entirely, though this will eliminate wireless networking capability. Where WiFi must remain enabled, enforcing 802.1X network access control and restricting adjacency to trusted devices on the wireless segment reduces the pool of potential attackers, though it does not eliminate the vulnerability. Organizations should prioritize patching on shared-network endpoints (open offices, guest WiFi environments) where adjacent adversaries are most plausible.
