CVE-2018-3579
In the WLAN driver in all Android releases from CAF (Android for MSM, Firefox OS for MSM, QRD Android) using the Linux Kernel, event->num_entries_in_page is a value received from firmware that is not properly validated which can lead to a buffer over-read
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.16%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
