DescriptionCVE.org

Memory Corruption when processing Device Capability Extended attributes in certain NAN Service Discovery Frames with invalid length values.

AnalysisAI

Memory corruption in Qualcomm Snapdragon Wi-Fi/NAN firmware allows an attacker within wireless range to overflow a stack buffer by sending Neighbor Awareness Networking (NAN) Service Discovery Frames whose Device Capability Extended attributes carry invalid length values (CWE-121). With CVSS:3.1/AV:A/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N and a scope-changed 9.6 score, an unauthenticated adjacent attacker can achieve high-impact compromise potentially crossing from the wireless subsystem into the host. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, and it is not on CISA KEV.

Technical ContextAI

NAN (Neighbor Awareness Networking, marketed as Wi-Fi Aware) is a Wi-Fi peer-discovery protocol implemented in the Snapdragon wireless/connectivity firmware. Service Discovery Frames advertise capabilities via structured attributes, including the Device Capability Extended attribute. The flaw is a classic CWE-121 stack-based buffer overflow: a declared length field in the attribute is not validated against the actual buffer, so parsing an attribute with an invalid (oversized/malformed) length writes past a fixed stack buffer. The single CPE cpe:2.3:a:qualcomm,_inc.:snapdragon:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* identifies affected components broadly across Snapdragon platforms rather than a precise chip/firmware version list.

RemediationAI

Patch available per vendor advisory: apply the fixes referenced in Qualcomm's August 2026 Security Bulletin (https://docs.qualcomm.com/product/publicresources/securitybulletin/august-2026-bulletin.html) as delivered through OEM/carrier firmware and Android security updates; no exact standalone fix version is provided in the input, so track the specific patched firmware level published by your device vendor. As a compensating control until patched, disable Wi-Fi Aware/NAN if the device or MDM exposes that setting, or disable Wi-Fi in untrusted RF environments - the trade-off is loss of peer-to-peer discovery features and general Wi-Fi connectivity. Reducing exposure to untrusted wireless proximity (avoiding crowded public spaces with Wi-Fi on) lowers practical risk given the adjacent-network attack vector.
