Vulnerability identifier: #VU138608

CSH Severity: Medium

CVSS v4: 8.7 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N]

CVE-ID: CVE-2026-64030

CWE-ID: CWE-125

Exploitation vector: Remote access

Exploit availability: No public exploit available

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to cause a denial of service.

The vulnerability exists due to an out-of-bounds read in ieee80211_ml_epcs when processing an EPCS Enable Response action frame with a crafted PER_STA_PROFILE subelement containing link_id 15. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted action frame to cause a denial of service.

The unsolicited-notification path is reachable when EPCS is already enabled, and no prior client request is required when dialog_token is 0.
