CVE-2023-52525

An out-of-bounds vulnerability was found in the mwifiex_process_rx_packet() function in the Linux kernel, which occurs from improper boundary checks when accessing the RFC1042 headers in received packets. If the packet buffer is too small, the function skips code paths that handle these headers, which could lead to incorrect packet processing and a potential out-of-bounds access, causing a crash or memory corruption.
