Summary

In the Linux kernel, the wilc1000 WiFi driver has a buffer overflow vulnerability during WID string configuration. The wilc_wlan_parse_response_frame function copies data without size checking, which could lead to buffer overflow.

Risk Assessment

Risk of buffer overflow when processing firmware responses, which could lead to system crash or potential code execution. An attacker could exploit this for privilege escalation.

Recommendation

Apply the Linux kernel patch that adds size checking before data copying. Update the system to a kernel version containing the fix.

Original NVD description (English source)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: wifi: wilc1000: avoid buffer overflow in WID string configuration Fix the following copy overflow warning identified by Smatch checker. drivers/net/wireless/microchip/wilc1000/wlan_cfg.c:184 wilc_wlan_parse_response_frame() error: '__memcpy()' 'cfg->s[i]->str' copy overflow (512 vs 65537) This patch introduces size check before accessing the memory buffer. The checks are base on the WID type of received data from the firmware. For WID string configuration, the size limit is determined by individual element size in 'struct wilc_cfg_str_vals' that is maintained in 'len' field of 'struct wilc_cfg_str'.
