CVE-2024-28049: Improper input validation in firmware for some Intel(R) PROSet/Wireless Software and Intel(R) Killer(TM) Wi-Fi wireless products before vers

Noroxi assessment

Priority: Monitor (action score 27/100)

  • The sources we track (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, Metasploit, Nuclei, GitHub) show no public exploit code or exploitation in the wild.
  • Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 0.24% (FIRST EPSS).
  • Someone on the same network segment can trigger it. No account or password is required. No special conditions are required; it is repeatable.
  • Fixed version: firmware-nonfree (Debian:13) 20240610-1.

Low priority for now. Upgrade to firmware-nonfree (Debian:13) 20240610-1 or later.
