An out‑of‑bounds write vulnerability exists in the Intel PROSet/Wireless WiFi Software for Windows. The flaw allows an attacker to corrupt kernel memory, causing a crash of the driver or the entire operating system. The security consequence is a denial of service: the system becomes non‑responsive, while confidentiality is not affected and integrity is only minimally impacted. The impact can propagate to local users on the affected machine, resulting in reduced availability for all processes running on that host.

The vulnerability appears in Intel PROSet/Wireless WiFi Software for Windows. No specific affected versions are listed, so any installation that includes the default driver could be vulnerable. The only vendor name available is Intel, and the product is the wireless driver stack for Windows.

The CVSS score of 7.1 indicates a high risk of exploitation. The EPSS score is lower than 1%, suggesting that attacks are rare or expected to be difficult to orchestrate, but the lack of user interaction and low complexity attack vector mean local or network adversaries may still attempt it. The vulnerability is not listed in the CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog, so there are no confirmed widespread attacks. Nevertheless, an attacker who can execute code close to the driver can trigger the crash, achieving a denial of service without needing privileged access.
