software. This application is provided by Intel in order to support intel 
Wireless Devices based on Spectrum 24 chipsets.

security descriptor, allowing unprivileged users to perform operations like

This shared memory is used to store ,in plain text, confidential information 
like WEP Key, Passwords...

The successful exploitation of this vulnerability could allow to any 
unprivileged user to access confidential information,exposing the network. An 
important mitigating factor is that the vulnerability is local, nevertheless
