Solution  

White needs to give atari to the marked Black stone, otherwise Black will take one of the two remaining liberties of the white group at the top or take the single White stone.

The solution is for White to give atari with W1, and then to set up a ko in the corner with W3. White needs to win this ko twice in order to kill the Black group.

W1 is a careless move. If B2 carefully descends and not carelessly capture at a, then White is completely dead.
