Description
Improper conditions check for some Intel(R) PROSet/Wireless WiFi Software 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 (none) and availability (high) of the vulnerable system, resulting in subsequent system confidentiality (none), integrity (none) and availability (none) impacts.

AI Analysis

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.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Update the Intel PROSet/Wireless WiFi driver to the latest version available from Intel.
  • Disable or remove the affected wireless network interface until a vendor fix is applied as a temporary mitigator.
  • Monitor network traffic and system logs for unusual packets or service interruptions that could indicate attempts to trigger the denial of service.
