CVE-2019-14816: Buffer Overflow

Published Aug 21, 2019
·
Updated

A vulnerability was found in the Linux kernel's Marvell WiFi chip driver. Where, while parsing vendor-specific informational attributes, an attacker on the same WiFi physical network segment could cause a system crash, resulting in a denial of service, or potentially execute arbitrary code. This flaw affects the network interface at the most basic level meaning the attacker only needs to affiliate with the same network device as the vulnerable system to create an attack path.

Other sources

Linux Kernel is vulnerable to a heap-based buffer overflow, caused by improper bounds checking by mwifiexupdatevsie() function of Marvell Wifi Driver. By sending a specially-crafted packet, a local attacker could overflow a buffer and execute arbitrary code on the system or cause the system to crash.
