Description
In wlan AP driver, there is a possible memory corruption due to a heap buffer overflow. This could lead to remote (proximal/adjacent) code execution with User execution privileges needed. User interaction is not needed for exploitation. Patch ID: WCNCR00480138; Issue ID: MSV-6295.

AI Analysis

Impact

A heap buffer overflow exists in the WLAN Access Point driver of MediaTek chipsets, enabling memory corruption. This flaw can be triggered without user interaction and may result in remote code execution on the device at the privilege level of the executing user. The vulnerability is a classic buffer overflow (CWE-122), potentially compromising confidentiality, integrity, and availability if exploited.

Affected Systems

The flaw affects MediaTek chipsets' WLAN AP driver. No specific version numbers are listed, so any firmware that includes the vulnerable driver may be impacted.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score is 8.0, EPSS is not available, and the vulnerability is not listed in CISA KEV. The heap buffer overflow allows remote code execution without user interaction; it is inferred that an attacker would send crafted frames to the device. Because no user interaction is required, the threat is high; an attacker who can reach the WLAN AP could compromise confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the network and connected devices.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Apply the vendor patch WCNCR00480138 to all firmware that contains the compromised WLAN AP driver.
  • If a patch is not yet available, isolate the WLAN AP interface from untrusted remote traffic using firewall rules or network segmentation so that crafted frames cannot reach the vulnerable driver.
  • Monitor network traffic and system logs for anomalous packets or repeated access attempts that might indicate exploitation attempts, and deploy intrusion detection systems tuned to detect buffer overflow indicators.
