Overview

CVE-2023-52525 is a high-severity vulnerability. It was published on March 2, 2024 and has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 7.1 (HIGH).

This vulnerability has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 7.1, rated HIGH. It requires local or adjacent network access to exploit. Some level of privileges is required for exploitation.

Technical description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

wifi: mwifiex: Fix oob check condition in mwifiex_process_rx_packet

Only skip the code path trying to access the rfc1042 headers when the

buffer is too small, so the driver can still process packets without

rfc1042 headers.

Remediation

Check the references section for vendor advisories, patches, and mitigation guidance. If immediate patching is not possible, review the CVSS vector to understand the attack surface and apply compensating controls such as network segmentation or access restrictions.
