Information Disclosure when processing advertisement frames with malformed MBSSID elements of insufficient length.

AnalysisAI

Qualcomm Snapdragon chipsets improperly parse 802.11 advertisement frames containing malformed MBSSID (Multiple BSSID) elements of insufficient length, triggering a buffer over-read that discloses memory contents to an attacker. The CVSS vector (AV:N/AC:H/PR:L/UI:R/S:C) indicates network-reachable exploitation with changed scope, meaning the impact crosses beyond the Wi-Fi subsystem into adjacent components. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, and no CISA KEV listing exists; Qualcomm addressed this in their June 2026 Security Bulletin.

Technical ContextAI

The MBSSID (Multiple Basic Service Set Identifier) element is an IEEE 802.11ax (Wi-Fi 6) feature enabling a single physical access point to advertise multiple virtual BSSIDs within a single beacon or probe response frame. The affected Qualcomm Snapdragon Wi-Fi firmware or driver code (CPE: cpe:2.3:a:qualcomm,_inc.:snapdragon:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*) fails to validate that the declared length of an MBSSID element matches the actual data present before reading from it. This produces a CWE-126 (Buffer Over-read) condition: the parser reads beyond the end of the element's allocated buffer, potentially exposing adjacent heap or stack memory. The 'Buffer Overflow' tag in the intelligence source may reflect the broader vulnerability class or a related write-path issue, but the CWE-126 root cause is a read-side overrun, consistent with the Information Disclosure primary impact. Changed scope (S:C) in the CVSS vector suggests that the leaked data or the over-read itself can affect components outside the immediate Wi-Fi parsing component, such as the OS networking stack or application-layer security boundaries.

RemediationAI

The primary remediation is to apply the patches released by Qualcomm in the June 2026 Security Bulletin (https://docs.qualcomm.com/product/publicresources/securitybulletin/june-2026-bulletin.html). Exact patched firmware or driver versions are not independently confirmed from the available CPE data - the bulletin should be consulted for device-specific fix versions. OEM device manufacturers who integrate Snapdragon chipsets must incorporate and distribute these patches via their own firmware update mechanisms; end users should apply any available device firmware or OS updates from their device vendor. As a compensating control where patching is not immediately available, restricting device operation to trusted wireless environments reduces exposure to crafted beacon frames - specifically, disabling automatic Wi-Fi scanning or passive frame processing in untrusted public environments limits the attack surface, though this significantly degrades usability. There is no indication of a simpler configuration-level workaround such as disabling MBSSID support independently. No vendor advisory beyond the Qualcomm bulletin has been identified at time of analysis.
