Improper input validation in Intel PROSet/Wireless WiFi software before 23.60 allows unauthenticated network-based denial of service.
Vulnerability
Overview
CVE-2024-33624 is an improper input validation vulnerability in Intel(R) PROSet/Wireless WiFi software for Windows prior to version 23.60. The root cause is insufficient validation of input data received over the network, which can lead to unexpected behavior in the software [1].
Exploitation
Conditions
An unauthenticated attacker with network access can exploit this flaw by sending specially crafted packets to a system running the vulnerable software. No authentication or user interaction is required, making the attack surface accessible from adjacent or remote network positions [1].
Impact
Successful exploitation results in a denial of service (DoS) condition, causing the WiFi software to crash or become unresponsive. This disrupts wireless connectivity and may require a system restart to restore normal operation [1].
Mitigation
Intel has addressed this vulnerability in PROSet/Wireless WiFi software version 23.60 and later. Users are advised to update to the latest version via the Intel Driver & Support Assistant or the advisory linked below [1].
