Technical details

An out-of-bounds read in Intel Wireless Bluetooth kernel-mode code (Ring 0) can be triggered by an adjacent network attacker sending crafted packets without authentication. The vulnerability results in denial of service by crashing the kernel, with no other system impacts. CVSS 4.0 vector AV:A/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N indicates an adjacent network attack vector with low attack complexity and no privilege requirements.
