Summary

In the Linux kernel, the wl1251 driver's wl1251_cmd_scan function calls memcpy without checking the length, which could lead to a buffer overflow. The fix adds a check to ensure the length is within the maximum allowed size.

Risk Assessment

Buffer overflow could allow an attacker to execute code or cause a system crash, especially in environments with access to the wireless interface.

Recommendation

Apply a Linux kernel update containing the fix that adds a length check before memcpy in wl1251_cmd_scan.
