CVE-2026-24911: Denial of Service in Intel(R) PROSet/Wireless WiFi Software for Windows
Stack-based buffer overflow for some Intel(R) PROSet/Wireless WiFi Software for Windows within Ring 0: Kernel may allow a denial of service. Unprivileged software adversary with an unauthenticated user combined with a low complexity attack may enable denial of service. This result may potentially occur via adjacent access when attack requirements are not 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 (high) impacts.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
This vulnerability is a stack-based buffer overflow in Intel(R) PROSet/Wireless WiFi Software for Windows operating within kernel mode (Ring 0). An unauthenticated attacker with adjacent access and low attack complexity can exploit this flaw to cause a denial of service, impacting system availability. The vulnerability does not affect confidentiality or integrity. No special user interaction is required, and exploitation does not require privileged access. The CVSS 4.0 score is 8.3, reflecting high severity due to the availability impact and ease of attack. No patch or remediation information is currently available.
Potential Impact
The vulnerability results in a denial of service condition affecting system availability. There is no impact on confidentiality or integrity. The attack can be performed by an unauthenticated, unprivileged adversary with adjacent access and low complexity, potentially causing system crashes or reboots.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. No official fix or temporary workaround has been published at this time.
