Alert meAnalysisAI
Out of bound access can occur while processing peer info in IBSS connection mode due to lack of upper bounds check to ensure that for loop further will not cause an overflow in Snapdragon Auto,. Rated high severity (CVSS 7.8), this vulnerability is low attack complexity. This Buffer Copy without Size Check vulnerability could allow attackers to overflow a buffer to corrupt adjacent memory.
RemediationAI
A vendor patch is available. Apply the latest security update as soon as possible. Always validate buffer sizes before copy operations. Use bounded functions (strncpy, snprintf). Enable compiler protections.
