HighMetricsAV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
Linux kernel (affected versions not specified)
Description
An out-of-bounds read exists in the
b43 rx() function within the b43 wifi driver. The firmware-controlled key index can exceed the size of the dev->key[] array, which contains 58 entries. Because the existing B43 WARN ON check is non-enforcing in production builds, it fails to prevent the read operation when an invalid key index is returned by the firmware.Recommendations
At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
