CVE-2018-12159
Buffer overflow in the command-line interface for Intel(R) PROSet Wireless v20.50 and before may allow an authenticated user to potentially enable denial of service via local access.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.28%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
