Summary

In the Linux kernel, the wcn36xx driver has an out-of-bounds read due to a short trigger BA firmware response. Lack of length validation can lead to reading stale heap data and corrupting the BA session state.

Risk Assessment

This can lead to Wi-Fi connection instability or potential data integrity issues.

Recommendation

Install a kernel patch that adds validation that the response includes the candidate data.

Original NVD description (English source)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: wifi: wcn36xx: fix OOB read from short trigger BA firmware response The firmware response length is only checked against sizeof(*rsp) (20 bytes), but when candidate_cnt >= 1, a 22-byte candidate struct is read at buf + 20 without verifying the response contains it. This causes an out-of-bounds read of stale heap data, corrupting the BA session state. Add validation that the response includes the candidate data.
