CVE-2020-12654

Se detectó un problema en el kernel de Linux versiones anteriores a 5.5.4. En la función mwifiex_ret_wmm_get_status() en el archivo drivers/net/wireless/marvell/mwifiex/wmm.c permite a un AP remoto desencadenar un desbordamiento del búfer en la región heap de la memoria debido a una memcpy incorrecta, también se conoce como CID-3a9b153c5591.

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel. The Marvell mwifiex driver allows a remote WiFi access point to trigger a heap-based memory buffer overflow due to an incorrect memcpy operation. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to data integrity and system availability.

It was discovered that the Marvell WiFi-Ex Driver in the Linux kernel did not properly validate status lengths in messages received from an access point, leading to a buffer overflow. A physically proximate attacker controlling an access point could use this to construct messages that could possibly result in arbitrary code execution. It was discovered that memory contents previously stored in microarchitectural special registers after RDRAND, RDSEED, and SGX EGETKEY read operations on Intel client and Xeon E3 processors may be briefly exposed to processes on the same or different processor cores. A local attacker could use this to expose sensitive information. Various other issues were also addressed.
