MediumCVSS 5.9Exploitation Probability (EPSS)
Low risk3th percentile - higher than 3% of all known CVEs
Summary
Use after free in Intel(R) PROSet/Wireless WiFi Software for Windows may allow denial of service. An attacker with an unauthenticated user and a high complexity attack can exploit this locally, without user interaction. The impact on availability is high.
Risk Assessment
Risk of system or network service crash due to DoS attack on WiFi drivers, potentially affecting system availability.
Recommendation
Update Intel(R) PROSet/Wireless WiFi Software to the latest version to remediate the vulnerability.
Original NVD description (English source)
Use after free for some Intel(R) PROSet/Wireless WiFi Software for Windows within Ring 0: Kernel may allow a denial of service. System software adversary with an unauthenticated user combined with a high complexity attack may enable denial of service. This result may potentially occur via local access when attack requirements are 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.
