Description

This security bulletin contains information about 1 vulnerability.


1) Out-of-bounds read (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-98186)

CWE-ID: CWE-125 - Out-of-bounds read

CVSSv4: 0 [CVSS:4.0/AV:A/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N]


The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to read beyond the bounds of a kernel beacon buffer.

The vulnerability exists due to an out-of-bounds read in mwifiex_search_oui_in_ie() when processing RSN or WPA information elements in beacon or probe-response frames during scan-result parsing. A remote attacker can transmit a crafted information element with a pairwise-cipher count exceeding the element's available length to read beyond the bounds of a kernel beacon buffer.
