Description

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's rtl8723bs Wi-Fi driver. This memory corruption vulnerability, specifically an out-of-bounds read, occurs because the driver does not properly validate the length of data in received network frames within the rtw_get_ie_ex() function. A remote attacker could exploit this by sending specially crafted frames, potentially leading to information disclosure or a denial of service.

Mitigation

No mitigation is specified in collected source.
