Adjacent denial of service via driver out-of-bounds write
Published Aug 11, 2026 · Updated Aug 11, 2026
Out-of-bounds write in Intel PROSet/Wireless WiFi Software for Windows before 24.10 allows remote attackers to interrupt service. A Ring 2 device driver writes beyond an intended buffer, but Intel has not disclosed the affected routine, buffer, or triggering wireless frame. An unauthenticated attacker within wireless range can reach the flaw without user interaction; the reported consequence is a service interrupt with no confidentiality impact.
