FAQ

According to the CVSS metric, the attack complexity is high (AC:H). What does that mean for this vulnerability? Successful exploitation of this vulnerability requires an attacker to gather information specific to the environment and take additional actions prior to exploitation to prepare the target environment. According to the CVSS metric, the attack vector is adjacent (AV:A). What does that mean for this vulnerability? Exploiting this vulnerability requires an attacker to be within proximity of the target system to send and receive radio transmissions. How could an attacker exploit the vulnerability? An unauthenticated attacker could send a malicious networking packet to an adjacent system that is employing a Wi-Fi networking adapter, which could enable remote code execution.
