high Nessus Plugin ID 182408

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing one or more security-related updates.

Description

The remote Debian 10 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the dla-3596 advisory.

- Improper access control for some Intel(R) PROSet/Wireless WiFi and Killer(TM) WiFi software may allow a privileged user to potentially enable escalation of privilege via local access. (CVE-2022-27635, CVE-2022-40964)

- Improper input validation in some Intel(R) PROSet/Wireless WiFi and Killer(TM) WiFi software may allow an unauthenticated user to potentially enable denial of service via adjacent access. (CVE-2022-36351)

- Improper input validation in some Intel(R) PROSet/Wireless WiFi and Killer(TM) WiFi software may allow an authenticated user to potentially enable escalation of privilege via local access. (CVE-2022-38076)

- Protection mechanism failure for some Intel(R) PROSet/Wireless WiFi software may allow a privileged user to potentially enable escalation of privilege via local access. (CVE-2022-46329)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Upgrade the firmware-nonfree packages.

For Debian 10 buster, these problems have been fixed in version 20190114+really20220913-0+deb10u2.
