Threats tagged 'ghsa-j7q2-v7q5-76jp'

A vulnerability in the Linux kernel's wifi cfg80211 subsystem was resolved involving improper validation of Information Elements (IEs) in the cfg80211_wext_siwgenie() function. Malformed IE buffers could be stored without validation, leading to out-of-bounds reads and integer underflows during subsequent processing. This could cause kernel crashes due to fortify panics triggered by unsafe memory operations.
