Summary
Exposure of sensitive information to an unauthorized actor in Intel(R) PROSet/Wireless WiFi Software for Windows within Ring 2: Device Drivers may allow an escalation of privilege. The attack requires an unauthenticated user, low complexity, and local access, with no user interaction. The vulnerability impacts confidentiality (low), but may lead to local code execution with high impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability.
Risk Assessment
Escalation of privilege may allow an attacker to execute local code, potentially leading to breaches of confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The attack can be performed by an unauthenticated user, increasing the risk.
Recommendation
It is recommended to update Intel PROSet/Wireless WiFi Software for Windows to the latest version with fixes. Also, restrict local access to systems and monitor for unusual activity.
Original NVD description (English source)
Exposure of sensitive information to an unauthorized actor for some Intel(R) PROSet/Wireless WiFi Software for Windows within Ring 2: Device Drivers may allow an escalation of privilege. Unprivileged software adversary with an unauthenticated user combined with a low complexity attack may enable local code execution. 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 (low), integrity (none) and availability (none) of the vulnerable system, resulting in subsequent system confidentiality (high), integrity (low) and availability (low) impacts.
