VAR-200605-0169

Vulnerability from variot - Updated: 2025-04-03 22:10

S24EvMon.exe in the Intel PROset/Wireless software, possibly 10.1.0.33, uses a S24EventManagerSharedMemory shared memory section with weak permissions, which allows local users to read or modify passwords or other data, or cause a denial of service. Intel PROset/Wireless software is susceptible to a local information-disclosure vulnerability. This issue is due to insecure permissions being applied to shared-memory segments. This issue allows local, unprivileged attackers to gain access to potentially sensitive network configuration and authentication information. Information gathered by exploiting this issue will aid them in further attacks. Version 10.1.0.33 of the Intel PROset/Wireless software is vulnerable to this issue; other versions may also be affected.

The vulnerability is caused due to insecure default permissions on the "\BaseNamedObjects\S24EventManagerSharedMemory" shared section used by the Wireless Management Service (S24EvMon.exe). This makes it possible for an unprivileged user to obtain information of the wireless configuration e.g. WEP keys.

The vulnerability has been confirmed in version 10.1.0.33.

SOLUTION: Restrict access to affected systems.
