Wi-Fi Stack Out-of-Bounds Read Vulnerability in Linux Kernel
CVE-2017-17772 Published on November 26, 2024
Multiple buffer overread vulnerabilities in WLAN
In multiple functions that process 802.11 frames, out-of-bounds reads can occur due to insufficient validation.
Vulnerability Analysis
CVE-2017-17772 is exploitable with network access, and does not require authorization privileges or user interaction. This vulnerability is considered to have a low attack complexity. The potential impact of an exploit of this vulnerability is considered to be very high.
Weakness Type
Buffer Over-read
The software reads from a buffer using buffer access mechanisms such as indexes or pointers that reference memory locations after the targeted buffer. This typically occurs when the pointer or its index is incremented to a position beyond the bounds of the buffer or when pointer arithmetic results in a position outside of the valid memory location to name a few. This may result in exposure of sensitive information or possibly a crash.
