Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Linux kernel versions 3.x and 4.x

Description The issue is related to the WLAN driver for the Linux kernel, which does not properly verify authorization for certain private SET IOCTL calls. This allows attackers to potentially gain privileges by using a crafted application. The problem is associated with specific files, namely wlan hdd hostapd.c and wlan hdd wext.c.

Recommendations For Linux kernel versions 3.x and 4.x, update to a version that includes the necessary patches to verify authorization for private SET IOCTL calls. At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
