CVE-2019-14816

Se presenta un desbordamiento del búfer en la región heap de la memoria en el kernel, todas las versiones hasta 5.3 (excluyéndola), en el controlador de chip wifi marvell en el kernel de Linux, que permite a usuarios locales causar una denegación de servicio (bloqueo del sistema) o posiblemente ejecutar código arbitrario.

A vulnerability was found in the Linux kernel's Marvell WiFi chip driver. Where, while parsing vendor-specific informational attributes, an attacker on the same WiFi physical network segment could cause a system crash, resulting in a denial of service, or potentially execute arbitrary code. This flaw affects the network interface at the most basic level meaning the attacker only needs to affiliate with the same network device as the vulnerable system to create an attack path.
