Impact
A null pointer dereference in the Intel PROSet/Wireless WiFi Software for Windows drivers allows a remote network adversary to trigger a denial of service. The vulnerability originates in Ring 2 device drivers and can be exploited by an unauthenticated attacker with low complexity. Successful exploitation causes a crash or potential kernel instability that results in loss of availability, while no confidentiality or integrity impacts are reported.
Affected Systems
The affected product is Intel PROSet/Wireless WiFi Software for Windows. Specific version information is not listed in the advisories. The flaw is located in the WiFi driver module that manages wireless connectivity.
Risk and Exploitability
The CVSS score of 7.1 indicates a high severity level. The EPSS score of less than 1% points to a low probability of exploitation in the near term. The vulnerability is not included in the CISA KEV catalog, so no confirmed exploits are publicly known. The attack is presumed to occur through the WiFi interface, requiring no user interaction; an attacker on the same network can potentially trigger a system crash.
