Vulnerability from cvelistv5

Severity ?
7.9 (High) - CVSS:3.1/AV:A/AC:H/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H
Summary
The Broadcom brcmfmac WiFi driver prior to commit a4176ec356c73a46c07c181c6d04039fafa34a9f is vulnerable to a frame validation bypass. If the brcmfmac driver receives a firmware event frame from a remote source, the is_wlc_event_frame function will cause this frame to be discarded and unprocessed. If the driver receives the firmware event frame from the host, the appropriate handler is called. This frame validation can be bypassed if the bus used is USB (for instance by a wifi dongle). This can allow firmware event frames from a remote source to be processed. In the worst case scenario, by sending specially-crafted WiFi packets, a remote, unauthenticated attacker may be able to execute arbitrary code on a vulnerable system. More typically, this vulnerability will result in denial-of-service conditions.

This can allow firmware event frames from a remote source to be processed. In the worst case scenario, by sending specially-crafted WiFi packets, a remote, unauthenticated attacker may be able to execute arbitrary code on a vulnerable system. More typically, this vulnerability will result in denial-of-service conditions.\"},{\"lang\":\"es\",\"value\":\"El controlador Broadcom brcmfmac WiFi antes de commit a4176ec356c73a46c07c181c6d04039fafa34a9f, es vulnerable a una omisi\u00f3n de comprobaci\u00f3n de trama. Si el controlador brcmfmac recibe una trama de evento del firmware desde una fuente remota, la funci\u00f3n is_wlc_event_frame causar\u00e1 que esta trama sea descartada y no procesada. Si el controlador recibe la trama de evento del firmware desde el host, es llamado el manejador apropiado. Esta comprobaci\u00f3n de trama puede ser omitida si el bus utilizado es USB (por ejemplo, mediante un dongle wifi). Esto puede permitir que tramas de eventos del firmware sean procesadas desde una fuente remota.
