Technical details
The vulnerability is a use-after-free memory safety issue in the Intel PROSet/Wireless WiFi Software kernel driver (Ring 0 context). The attack vector is local access, and exploitation requires system software adversary privileges combined with an unauthenticated user and high attack complexity. An attacker can trigger the use-after-free to crash the system or potentially cause undefined behavior. The vulnerability impacts availability only (no confidentiality or integrity impact). Patches are available through Intel security advisory INTEL-SA-01468.
