CVE-2024-23198

Adjacent denial of service via undisclosed firmware validation

Published Nov 13, 2024 · Updated Jan 10, 2025

Improper input validation in Intel PROSet/Wireless and Intel Killer Wi-Fi firmware before 23.40 allows attackers to cause denial of service. Intel identifies the locus only as wireless firmware and has not disclosed the malformed input, parsing path, or failed validation operation. Exploitation requires adjacent wireless access and active user interaction, and the reported consequence is loss of availability rather than data disclosure or modification.
