Descriptions

A heap-based buffer overflow was discovered in the Linux kernel, all versions 3.x.x and 4.x.x before 4.18.0, in Marvell WiFi chip driver. The flaw could occur when the station attempts a connection negotiation during the handling of the remote devices country settings. This could allow the remote device to cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code.

Se detectó un desbordamiento de búfer en la región heap de la memoria en el kernel de Linux, todas las versiones 3.x.x y versiones 4.x.x anteriores a 4.18.0, en el controlador del chip WiFi de Marvell. El fallo podría presentarse cuando la estación intenta una negociación de conexión durante el manejo de la configuración country de dispositivos remotos. Esto podría permitir que el dispositivo remoto cause una denegación de servicio (bloqueo del sistema) o posiblemente ejecute código arbitrario.
