CVE-2019-14901

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Linux kernel versions 3.x.x and 4.x.x before 4.18.0

Description The issue is related to a heap overflow flaw in the Marvell WiFi chip driver of the Linux kernel. This flaw allows a remote attacker to cause a system crash, resulting in a denial of service, or execute arbitrary code with root permissions, affecting the confidentiality and integrity of files on the system.

Recommendations For Linux kernel versions 3.x.x and 4.x.x before 4.18.0, update to version 4.18.0 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the Marvell WiFi chip driver to minimize the risk of exploitation.
