Descriptions

The function DecWPA2KeyData() in the Realtek RTL8195A Wi-Fi Module prior to versions released in April 2020 (up to and excluding 2.08) does not validate the size parameter for an rtl_memcpy() operation, resulting in a stack buffer overflow which can be exploited for remote code execution or denial of service. An attacker can impersonate an Access Point and attack a vulnerable Wi-Fi client, by injecting a crafted packet into the WPA2 handshake. The attacker needs to know the network's PSK in order to exploit this.

La función DecWPA2KeyData() en el módulo Wi-Fi Realtek RTL8195A anterior a versiones publicadas en Abril de 2020 (hasta y excluyendo la 2.08), no comprueba el parámetro size para una operación rtl_memcpy(), resulta en un desbordamiento del búfer de la pila que puede ser explotada para una ejecución de código remota o una denegación de servicio. Un atacante puede hacerse pasar por un Access Point y atacar a un cliente Wi-Fi vulnerable al inyectar un paquete diseñado en el protocolo de enlace WPA2. El atacante necesita conocer el PSK de la red para explotar esto
