AI-Generated

The vulnerability affects the Intel PROSet/Wireless WiFi Software for Windows, allowing a local attacker to exploit a use-after-free condition in the kernel, potentially leading to a denial of service. This issue can be triggered without user interaction, making it a concern for system administrators and organizations that rely on affected Windows systems. Priority should be given to environments where local access is possible, as the impact on system availability could disrupt operations.

Original NVD Description

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.
