Impact

A flaw in Google’s Android 802.11 common module occurs in the function get_eht_operation_channel_width of ieee802_11_common.c, where an incorrect bounds check allows a buffer over‑read (CWE-120). This out‑of‑bounds read can expose data residing in the device’s memory, enabling an attacker to obtain sensitive information without requiring additional execution privileges or user interaction.

Affected Systems

The affected software is Google:Android’s 802.11 common module, part of Android’s wireless networking stack; no specific version or patch level is mentioned, and the vulnerability could affect any Android installation that includes the vulnerable module.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 3.5 indicates a low severity level. The EPSS score of less than 1% suggests a low likelihood of exploitation. The vulnerability is not listed in CISA KEV catalog. The likely attack vector requires proximity to the device and the ability to transmit specially crafted Wi‑Fi frames that trigger the read, but otherwise requires no additional user or system privileges.

Generated by OpenCVE AI on September 11, 2026 at 04:57 UTC.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Apply the latest Android security update that addresses the out‑of‑bounds read in Wi‑Fi
  • Configure the device to automatically connect only to trusted Wi‑Fi networks and avoid connecting to unknown hotspots
  • If disabling Wi‑Fi is feasible, turn it off or enable airplane mode when wireless connectivity is not required
