Vulnerability from variot
DLL injection vulnerability in the installation executables (Autorun.exe and Setup.exe) for Intel's wireless drivers and related software in Intel Dual Band Wireless-AC, Tri-Band Wireless-AC and Wireless-AC family of products allows a local attacker to cause escalation of privilege via remote code execution. plural Intel Wireless-AC The product contains an injection vulnerability.Information is obtained, information is altered, and service operation is disrupted (DoS) There is a possibility of being put into a state. IntelDualBandWireless-AC, Tri-BandWireless-AC and Wireless-AC are all wireless network card products of Intel Corporation of the United States. Intelwirelessdrivers is one of the wireless network card drivers. Autorun.exe is one of the executable files; Setup.exe is one of the installation files. There are security vulnerabilities in the Autorun.exe and Setup.exe files for the Intelwireless drivers and related software in IntelDualBandWireless-AC, Tri-BandWireless-AC and Wireless-AC. A local attacker can exploit this vulnerability to increase privileges through remote code execution
