Description

This security bulletin contains information about 1 vulnerability.


1) Out-of-bounds write (CVE-ID: CVE-2019-14897)

CWE-ID: CWE-787 - Out-of-bounds write

CVSSv4: 9.3 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N]


The vulnerability allows a remote non-authenticated attacker to execute arbitrary code.

A stack-based buffer overflow was found in the Linux kernel, version kernel-2.6.32, in Marvell WiFi chip driver. An attacker is able to cause a denial of service (system crash) or, possibly execute arbitrary code, when a STA works in IBSS mode (allows connecting stations together without the use of an AP) and connects to another STA.
