Intel(R) PROSet/Wireless for Bluetooth(R) + High Speed – Unquoted Service Path Privilege Escalation

The Intel(R) PROSet/Wireless for Bluetooth(R) + High Speed service is installed with an unquoted service path, which enables a local privilege escalation vulnerability.

Rebooting the system or restarting the service will run the malicious executable with elevated privileges.

Mitigation:

Ensure that all services have a fully qualified path with the appropriate quotes.
