Lifecycle Timeline
2Description
In wlan, there is a possible out of bounds write due to a heap buffer overflow. This could lead to remote (proximal/adjacent) escalation of privilege with no additional execution privileges needed. User interaction is not needed for exploitation. Patch ID: WCNCR00461651; Issue ID: MSV-4758.
Analysis
OpenWRT and related SDKs are vulnerable to a heap buffer overflow in the WLAN component that allows adjacent network attackers to execute privilege escalation without user interaction or special permissions. The out-of-bounds write condition enables attackers on the same network segment to gain elevated system privileges. …
