Summary
Out-of-bounds read for some Intel(R) Wireless Bluetooth(R) within Ring 0: Kernel may allow a denial of service. Network adversary with an unauthenticated user combined with a low complexity attack may enable denial of service. This result may potentially occur via adjacent access when attack requirements are not present without special internal knowledge and requires no user interaction. The potential vulnerability may impact the confidentiality (none), integrity (none) and availability (high) of the vulnerable system, resulting in subsequent system confidentiality (none), integrity (none) and availability (none) impacts.
Who should check
Teams running Intel integrated wireless products with Intel Wireless Bluetooth before 24.50, on listed Core, Pentium and Celeron platforms.

Check your systems with an agent
Paste this into a coding or ops agent. It checks your systems read-only and reports a table per asset.
Check whether my systems are affected by CVE-2026-44382 (Out-of-bounds read for some Intel(R) Wireless Bluetooth(R) within Ring 0: Kernel may allow a denial of service.), using the cve.now data below. Rules: work read-only. Do not run exploit code, proof-of-concept scripts or scanners that send attack payloads, and do not change any configuration, package, image or deployment. Report findings only. What cve.now has for CVE-2026-44382 (entry last updated 2026-11-10): Affected: - n/a Intel(R) Wireless Bluetooth(R): version range not reported Fixed versions: 24.50 or later. Conditions (all must be true for the bug to be hit): - Intel Wireless Bluetooth on integrated wireless products before version 24.50 (Intel PROSet/Wireless Wi-Fi software and Intel Wireless Bluetooth). (source: https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/security-center/advisory/intel-sa-01530.html) Setup: unknown whether the bug needs a non-default feature or setting. Check the advisory. Attacker needs: adjacent access, no login, no user action. CISA KEV: CVE-2026-44382 is not listed as of cve.now's last read. This KEV status is for CVE-2026-44382 only. If you also check another CVE, look up its own KEV status; never assume it from this one. How to check: - Installed software: check what is actually running, not what a repo declares. Read the version from each host, container image and Kubernetes node (the binary's version output, the OS package database, image layers), and check whether the conditions above hold there. Distribution packages may carry a backported fix under an older version number; confirm against the distribution's own advisory. Verify against the linked advisories before concluding, and cite the date you read each one: - https://intel.com/content/www/us/en/security-center/advisory/intel-sa-01530.html - https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/security-center/advisory/intel-sa-01530.html Do not conclude an asset is unaffected unless you checked it and the evidence covers both its version and the conditions above. If you could not check something, mark it unknown and say what is missing. Report a table with one row per asset and these columns: Asset | Version or build | Status (affected, fixed, not applicable, unknown) | Compensating controls | Exposure (internet-facing, internal, none) | Evidence | Next action. Entry: https://cve.now/CVE-2026-44382 For follow-up questions, use the cve.now MCP server at https://mcp.cve.now/mcp (no authentication), for example get_vulnerability with id CVE-2026-44382.

Questions about CVE-2026-44382
Is CVE-2026-44382 being exploited?
It is not in CISA's Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog, and CISA's SSVC assessment does not mark exploitation as active. That does not mean it has not been attacked: vendors and researchers can report attacks before CISA lists them. No public exploit code is tracked.Source: cve.now feed data
What does this mean?
An out-of-bounds read in Intel Wireless Bluetooth lets an attacker cause a denial of service in the Ring 0 kernel. The advisory describes this as a crash-style disruption of the kernel rather than a data theft issue.Source: intel.com
Am I affected, and how do I check?
Intel lists Intel Wireless Bluetooth on integrated wireless products before version 24.50, delivered as part of Intel PROSet/Wireless Wi-Fi software and Intel Wireless Bluetooth. To check, compare the installed Intel PROSet/Wireless Wi-Fi software or Intel Wireless Bluetooth version against 24.50 in the driver or software version information.Source: intel.com
How do I fix CVE-2026-44382?
Intel recommends updating Intel PROSet/Wireless Wi-Fi software to version 24.50 or later. Installing that release or newer closes this issue.Source: intel.com
