Improper input validation in Intel Wireless Bluetooth drivers for Windows before 23.40 allows an unauthenticated adjacent attacker to cause denial of service.
Vulnerability
Details
CVE-2024-24984 is an improper input validation vulnerability in Intel Wireless Bluetooth products for Windows prior to version 23.40. The flaw exists in the driver's handling of certain Bluetooth packets, where insufficient validation of input data can lead to a crash or hang of the Bluetooth stack [1].
Exploitation
An unauthenticated attacker within Bluetooth range (adjacent access) can exploit this vulnerability by sending specially crafted Bluetooth packets to the target system. No user interaction or authentication is required, making the attack feasible from a nearby location without any prior access [1].
Impact
Successful exploitation results in a denial of service condition, causing the Bluetooth functionality to become unavailable. This could disrupt wireless peripherals, file transfers, or other Bluetooth-dependent operations on the affected Windows system [1].
Mitigation
Intel has addressed this vulnerability in version 23.40 of the Intel Wireless Bluetooth driver. Users are advised to update to this version or later through Windows Update or the Intel Driver & Support Assistant. No workarounds are documented [1].
