Descriptions

The Broadcom wl WiFi driver is vulnerable to a heap buffer overflow. If the vendor information element data length is larger than 164 bytes, a heap buffer overflow is triggered in wlc_wpa_plumb_gtk. In the worst case scenario, by sending specially-crafted WiFi packets, a remote, unauthenticated attacker may be able to execute arbitrary code on a vulnerable system. More typically, this vulnerability will result in denial-of-service conditions.

El controlador Broadcom wl WiFi es vulnerable a un desbordamiento del búfer de la pila. Si la longitud de los datos del elemento de información de proveedor es mayor que 164 bytes, un desbordamiento del búfer de la pila es desencadenado en la función wlc_wpa_plumb_gtk. En el peor de los casos, mediante el envío de paquetes WiFi especialmente diseñados, un atacante remoto no autenticado puede ejecutar código arbitrario en un sistema vulnerable. Más comúnmente, esta vulnerabilidad resultará en condiciones de denegación de servicio.
