CVE-2019-14896
A heap-based buffer overflow vulnerability was found in the Linux kernel, version kernel-2.6.32, in Marvell WiFi chip driver.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (8.67%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
Description
A heap-based buffer overflow vulnerability was found in the Linux kernel, version kernel-2.6.32, in Marvell WiFi chip driver. A remote attacker could cause a denial of service (system crash) or, possibly execute arbitrary code, when the lbs_ibss_join_existing function is called after a STA connects to an AP.
