1) Heap-based buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-64446)

CWE-ID: CWE-122 - Heap-based Buffer Overflow

CVSSv4: 6.8 [CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N]


The vulnerability allows a local user to cause memory corruption.

The vulnerability exists due to a heap-based buffer overflow in rtw_cfg80211_set_wpa_ie() when handling a crafted WPA or WPA2 information element in a connect request via nl80211. A local user can send a specially crafted connect request to cause memory corruption.

The issue can overflow the 256-byte supplicant_ie buffer by one byte into the adjacent last_mic_err_time field.
