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. No public exploit code has been identified and this vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog at time of analysis.
Technical ContextAI
The flaw resides within Ring 2 - the kernel/driver privilege layer in x86 architecture - specifically within the Intel PROSet/Wireless WiFi Software device driver stack for Windows. CWE-400 (Uncontrolled Resource Consumption) indicates the driver fails to enforce upper bounds on resource allocation, such as memory buffers, CPU scheduling queues, or I/O request packets, when handling calls originating from unprivileged Ring 3 (user-space) processes. Because device drivers execute in kernel mode, unchecked resource consumption at this layer can starve the broader operating system of critical resources. The CPE string (cpe:2.3:a:n/a:intel(r)_proset/wireless_wifi_software_for_windows:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*) uses a wildcard version field, indicating all released versions of the software on Windows are within scope per NVD and EUVD records.
RemediationAI
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. The provided intelligence data does not include an exact fix version number, so the patch status is 'patch available per vendor advisory' - the advisory is the authoritative source for the confirmed release build. Where immediate patching is not feasible, administrators can reduce exposure by uninstalling or disabling the Intel PROSet/Wireless software stack on systems that do not require the advanced Intel WiFi management features, falling back to the native Windows WiFi driver, which removes the vulnerable driver component entirely at the cost of Intel-specific WiFi management capabilities. Additionally, deploying application control policies such as Windows Defender Application Control or AppLocker to restrict which unprivileged processes can interact with kernel drivers can reduce the attack surface, though this requires careful policy tuning to avoid operational disruption.
