A heap buffer overflow vulnerability exists in the Linux kernel's wilc1000 wifi driver due to an 8-bit unsigned integer overflow in the SSID scan buffer size calculation. The variable used to accumulate the total length of SSIDs to scan is too small to hold the sum, causing an allocation smaller than needed and subsequent buffer overflow during memory copy. This issue has been fixed by changing the variable type to 32-bit to prevent overflow.
