Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Qualcomm Wi-Fi driver in Android versions prior to 2016-08-05

Description The issue is caused by a buffer overflow in the CORE/SYS/legacy/src/utils/src/dot11f.c file of the Qualcomm Wi-Fi driver. This allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted Information Element (IE) in an 802.11 management frame.

Recommendations For versions prior to 2016-08-05, update the Android system to a version released after 2016-08-05 to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to Wi-Fi networks to minimize the risk of exploitation.
