CVE-2026-64443

8.1 · HIGH
Published Jul 25, 2026 EPSS 0.28% (20th pctl)

Overview

CVE-2026-64443 is a high-severity vulnerability. It was published on July 25, 2026 and has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 8.1 (HIGH).

This vulnerability has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 8.1, rated HIGH. It requires local or adjacent network access to exploit. No authentication or special privileges are required for exploitation.

Technical Description

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

staging: rtl8723bs: fix OOB read in update_beacon_info() IE loop

The IE parsing loop in update_beacon_info() advances by

(pIE->length + 2) each iteration but only guards on i < len.

When a malicious AP sends a Beacon whose last IE has only one byte

remaining in the frame (the element_id byte lands at len-1), the loop

reads pIE->length from one byte past the allocated receive buffer.

Additionally, even when the header bytes are in bounds, pIE->length

itself can extend the data window beyond len, passing a truncated IE

to the handler functions.

Add two guards at the top of the loop body:

1. Break if fewer than sizeof(*pIE) bytes remain (can't read header).

2. Break if the IE's declared data extends past len.

Also replace i += (pIE->length + 2) with i += sizeof(*pIE) + pIE->length

for consistency with the sizeof(*pIE) guards added above.

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.
