In plain English, that means that someone (or something) on the same wired or Wi-Fi network, or possibly hooked into the local network through a VPN, could use these flaws to temporarily knock out your Wi-Fi connectivity, steal sensitive data or, worst of all, gain control of your PC. Suffice it to say that the flaws, as Intel puts it, "may allow escalation of privilege, denial of service or information disclosure" on the part of attackers via "local" or "adjacent" access.
We're not going to trouble you with the details of the security flaws, which you can read about on Intel security advisories SA-00539 (opens in new tab), SA-00581 (opens in new tab) and SA-00582 (opens in new tab).
How could someone use these flaws to attack you?
