It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim."},"fix_prompt":"Check this codebase for CVE-2021-23168 and fix it if it is affected.\n\nWhat it is: CVE-2021-23168 is a medium-severity denial of service vulnerability in Intel(R) PROSet/Wireless WiFi and Killer(TM) WiFi products, published on 18 Aug 2022. It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2021-23168 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Intel(R) PROSet/Wireless WiFi and Killer(TM) WiFi products. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-23168/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-23168/index.md)","id":"CVE-2021-23168","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-23168/index.md","name":"CVE-2021-23168","record":{"aliases":["DEBIAN-CVE-2021-23168","GHSA-2qgc-gr4q-7mjq"],"analysis":{"component_type":"hardware_firmware","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Intel WiFi drivers","requires_auth":"none","summary":"An out-of-bounds read in Intel and Killer WiFi drivers allows unauthenticated adjacent attackers to cause a denial of service.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"denial_of_service"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"intel","cpe":[{"product":"dual_band_wireless-ac_3165_firmware","vendor":"intel"},{"product":"dual_band_wireless-ac_3168_firmware","vendor":"intel"},{"product":"dual_band_wireless-ac_8260_firmware","vendor":"intel"},{"product":"dual_band_wireless-ac_8265_firmware","vendor":"intel"},{"product":"killer_ac_1550_firmware","vendor":"intel"},{"product":"killer_wi-fi_6_ax1650_firmware","vendor":"intel"},{"product":"killer_wi-fi_6e_ax1675_firmware","vendor":"intel"},{"product":"killer_wi-fi_6e_ax1690_firmware","vendor":"intel"},{"product":"proset_wi-fi_6e_ax210_firmware","vendor":"intel"},{"product":"wi-fi_6_ax200_firmware","vendor":"intel"},{"product":"wi-fi_6_ax201_firmware","vendor":"intel"},{"product":"wi-fi_6e_ax211_firmware","vendor":"intel"},{"product":"wi-fi_6e_ax411_firmware","vendor":"intel"},{"product":"wireless-ac_9260_firmware","vendor":"intel"},{"product":"wireless-ac_9461_firmware","vendor":"intel"},{"product":"wireless-ac_9462_firmware","vendor":"intel"},{"product":"wireless-ac_9560_firmware","vendor":"intel"},{"product":"wireless_7265_\\(rev_d\\)_firmware","vendor":"intel"}],"cvss":{"score":6.5,"severity":"medium","source":"cisa-adp","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:A/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-125","name":"Out-of-bounds Read"}],"description":"Out of bounds read for some Intel(R) PROSet/Wireless WiFi and Killer(TM) WiFi products may allow an unauthenticated user to potentially enable denial of service via adjacent access.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":true,"headline":"Denial of service in Intel(R) PROSet/Wireless WiFi and Killer(TM) WiFi products","id":"CVE-2021-23168","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"denial_of_service","year":"2021"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":2,"next":{"headline":"Memory corruption in OpenEXR","id":"CVE-2021-23169"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Weak cryptography in Command Centre","id":"CVE-2021-23167"},"products":["Intel(R) PROSet/Wireless WiFi and Killer(TM) WiFi products"],"published":"2022-08-18","related":[{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Privilege escalation in Intel(R) Wireless Bluetooth(R)","id":"CVE-2020-12321","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2020-11-12"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Memory corruption in Intel(R) WIFI Drivers and Intel(R) PROSet/Wireless WiFi Software extension DLL","id":"CVE-2019-11152","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2019-11-14"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Memory corruption in Intel(R) Wireless Bluetooth(R) and Killer(TM) Bluetooth(R) products","id":"CVE-2021-33847","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2022-08-18"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Memory corruption in Intel(R) WIFI Drivers and Intel(R) PROSet/Wireless WiFi Software extension DLL","id":"CVE-2019-11151","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2019-11-14"},{"cvss_score":7.1,"headline":"Information disclosure in Intel(R) Wireless Bluetooth(R) and Killer(TM) Bluetooth(R) products","id":"CVE-2021-23179","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2022-08-18"},{"cvss_score":6.5,"headline":"Memory corruption in Intel(R) PROSet/Wireless WiFi software","id":"CVE-2022-28667","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2022-11-11"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"no","exploitation":"none","technical_impact":"partial"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2025-05-05","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"An out-of-bounds read in Intel and Killer WiFi drivers allows unauthenticated adjacent attackers to cause a denial of service.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-23168/"}
