Vulnerability from fkie_nvd - Published: 2025-09-15 14:15 - Updated: 2025-11-25 17:02
Severity ?
Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: brcmfmac: Fix potential stack-out-of-bounds in brcmf_c_preinit_dcmds()
This patch fixes a stack-out-of-bounds read in brcmfmac that occurs
when 'buf' that is not null-terminated is passed as an argument of
strsep() in brcmf_c_preinit_dcmds(). This buffer is filled with a firmware
version string by memcpy() in brcmf_fil_iovar_data_get().
The patch ensures buf is null-terminated.
Found by a modified version of syzkaller.
