Summary

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: wifi: wilc1000: avoid buffer overflow in WID string configuration Fix the following copy overflow warning identified by Smatch checker. drivers/net/wireless/microchip/wilc1000/wlan_cfg.c:184 wilc_wlan_parse_response_frame() error: '__memcpy()' 'cfg->s[i]->str' copy overflow (512 vs 65537) This patch introduces size check before accessing the memory buffer. The checks are base on the WID type of received data from the firmware. For WID string configuration, the size limit is determined by individual element size in 'struct wilc_cfg_str_vals' that is maintained in 'len' field of 'struct wilc_cfg_str'.

Per kernel guidance, WiFi-frame-sourced bugs are Adjacent.\nAC:L - The attacker fully controls the 16-bit length field and the payload of the association response and can force association attempts repeatedly, so the overflow triggers deterministically on every connect with no race or uncontrollable precondition.\nPR:N - Association responses are unprotected frames exchanged before any WPA/802.1X credential verification, so the attacker needs no credentials on the target network and no account or privileges on the victim device.\nUI:N - A device with a saved profile auto-associates to a spoofed SSID, and an in-range attacker can inject a spoofed association response during an ordinary connection to a legitimate network, so no victim action is required.\nS:U - The corruption is confined to the kernel heap of the same system running the driver; no VM, IOMMU, or other security-authority boundary is crossed.\nC:H - The unbounded copy reads far past the received packet inside the 96 KB RX buffer into assoc_rsp, which is then exposed to userspace as association-response IEs via wilc_wlan_cfg_get_val(), and the resulting heap corruption provides further arbitrary-read primitives.\nI:H - Up to 65537 bytes of fully attacker-controlled data are written past a ~648-byte kzalloc\u0027d object, an out-of-bounds write that corrupts adjacent slab objects and is a standard primitive for control-flow hijack and privilege escalation.\nA:H - A multi-kilobyte heap overflow reliably corrupts slab metadata and neighbouring allocations, producing kernel panics or oopses on the affected embedded/IoT device."

Detection rules are retrieved from Rulezet.

The MITRE ATT&CK techniques below are AI-generated suggestions, inferred from the description of the vulnerability by the CIRCL/vulnerability-attack-technique-classification-roberta-base model, served locally by ML-Gateway. They have not been verified by an analyst and are provided for guidance only.
The approach is described in our paper Mapping CVEs to MITRE ATT&CK Techniques: A Curated Gold-Set Classifier and the Limits of LLM-Assisted Label Expansion.
