Impact
The vulnerability is an improper condition check in the Intel PROSet/Wireless WiFi driver (Ring 2 device drivers), a weakness categorized as CWE-754. The flaw can be triggered by a network adversary with an unauthenticated user using a low‑complexity attack, causing a denial of service that impacts availability of the vulnerable system. No impact on confidentiality or integrity is reported in the advisory.
Affected Systems
Intel PROSet/Wireless WiFi Software. Specific version information is not provided in the advisory.
Risk and Exploitability
The CVSS score of 7.1 indicates a moderate severity, and the EPSS score of less than 1% shows a very low probability of exploitation in the wild. The vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. Attackers would need to target the network interface, sending crafted packets that exploit the improper condition check. Given the low exploitation probability, the risk is lower than the severity score suggests, but any availability impact can be critical for mission‑critical environments.
