Improper input validation in Intel PROSet/Wireless WiFi software for Linux before 23.20 allows unauthenticated DoS via adjacent access.
Vulnerability
Overview
CVE-2023-47210 describes an improper input validation vulnerability in Intel(R) PROSet/Wireless WiFi software for Linux. The flaw exists in versions prior to 23.20 and arises from insufficient validation of input data. This software manages wireless networking functions on Linux systems [1].
Attack
Vector
An unauthenticated attacker with adjacent network access can exploit this vulnerability. No user authentication is required, meaning the attacker only needs to be within wireless range of the target system. The exploitation does not require any special privileges [1].
Impact
Successful exploitation results in a denial of service (DoS) condition. The attacker can cause the affected wireless software to stop functioning properly, potentially disrupting network connectivity for the Linux host [1].
Mitigation
Intel has released version 23.20 of the PROSet/Wireless WiFi software for Linux, which addresses the improper input validation. Users are strongly recommended to update to this version or later to protect against potential DoS attacks [1].
