Description

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's rtl8723bs component. An incorrect length check within the rtw_restruct_wmm_ie function can lead to an out-of-bounds read. This vulnerability occurs because the code attempts to access memory beyond the allocated buffer before verifying the index is within bounds. This could potentially allow an attacker to read sensitive information or cause a denial of service.

Mitigation

No mitigation is specified in collected source.
