Windows Wifi Vulnerability CVE-2024-30078

#1 Post by TPFanatic » Sun Jun 16, 2024 8:16 am

Putting this in the 7 forum because 10,11, and server versions 2008 and newer get patched but 7 and older doesn’t lol.

https://msrc.microsoft.com/update-guide ... 2024-30078

from what I’ve been told the process by which Windows identifies access point names can be exploited to hack Windows systems.

I’m going to become friends with Server…

edit: using some software from another forum I now have an install of Server 2008 R2 with version 6.1.7601.27162 of the nwifi.sys driver located in C:\Windows\System32\drivers, which is patched for CVE-2024-30078. This is essentially the Windows 7 experience without the wireless vulnerability otherwise left unpatched in old versions of Windows and without the enshittification of Windows 8+. Call me happy.
