CVE-2026-24099: Denial of Service in Intel(R) PROSet/Wireless WiFi Software for Windows
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.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
This vulnerability involves a use-after-free condition in Intel PROSet/Wireless WiFi Software for Windows running in kernel mode. An unauthenticated local attacker with system software capabilities and high attack complexity may exploit this flaw to cause a denial of service by crashing or destabilizing the system. The vulnerability does not affect confidentiality or integrity, only availability. No specific affected versions or patches are provided in the available data, and no known exploits are reported in the wild.
Potential Impact
The impact is a denial of service condition affecting system availability. There are no reported impacts on confidentiality or integrity. The vulnerability requires local access and has high attack complexity, limiting the likelihood of exploitation.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. No official fix or workaround information is provided in the available data. Until a patch is available, limiting local access to trusted users may reduce risk.
