{"id":"CVE-2026-33275","kind":"vulnerability","aliases":["CVE-2026-33275"],"related":[],"title":"Intel PROSet/Wireless Wi-Fi software for Windows: local denial of service flaw","description":"Improper resource shutdown or release for some Intel(R) PROSet/Wireless Wi-Fi Software for Windows within Ring 3: User Applications may allow a denial of service. Unprivileged software adversary with an authenticated user combined with a low complexity attack may enable denial of service. This result may potentially occur via local access when attack requirements are not present without special internal knowledge and requires no user interaction. The potential vulnerability may impact the confidentiality (none), integrity (none) and availability (high) of the vulnerable system, resulting in subsequent system confidentiality (none), integrity (none) and availability (none) impacts.","summary":"Some Intel PROSet/Wireless Wi-Fi Software versions for Windows release resources improperly when user-mode applications run.
