Summary
Improper authentication in Intel(R) PROSet/Wireless WiFi Software within Ring 0: Kernel may allow an information disclosure. The attack requires a privileged user, low complexity, and local access, with no user interaction. The vulnerability impacts confidentiality (high), but not integrity or availability.
Risk Assessment
Information disclosure may allow an attacker to access sensitive data, potentially compromising system confidentiality. System privileges are required, which limits the risk, but it remains a threat.
Recommendation
It is recommended to update Intel PROSet/Wireless WiFi Software to the latest version with fixes. Also, restrict access to systems with administrator privileges.
Original NVD description (English source)
Improper authentication for some Intel(R) PROSet/Wireless WiFi Software within Ring 0: Kernel may allow an information disclosure. System software adversary with a privileged user combined with a low complexity attack may enable data exposure. 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 (high), integrity (none) and availability (none) of the vulnerable system, resulting in subsequent system confidentiality (none), integrity (none) and availability (none) impacts.
