CVE-2018-3578
Type mismatch for ie_len can cause the WLAN driver to allocate less memory on the heap due to implicit casting leading to a heap buffer overflow in all Android releases from CAF (Android for MSM, Firefox OS for MSM, QRD Android) using the Linux Kernel.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (0.46%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
