Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
Android for MSM versions (affected versions not specified)
Firefox OS for MSM versions (affected versions not specified)
QRD Android versions (affected versions not specified)
Description
A buffer overrun issue occurs when processing the QCA NL80211 VENDOR SUBCMD SET TXPOWER SCALE DECR DB vendor command. This happens because the attribute QCA WLAN VENDOR ATTR TXPOWER SCALE DECR DB contains fewer than 1 byte.
Recommendations
For Android for MSM, as a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the QCA NL80211 VENDOR SUBCMD SET TXPOWER SCALE DECR DB vendor command until a patch is available.
For Firefox OS for MSM, restrict the use of the QCA WLAN VENDOR ATTR TXPOWER SCALE DECR DB attribute to minimize the risk of exploitation.
For QRD Android, avoid using the QCA NL80211 VENDOR SUBCMD SET TXPOWER SCALE DECR DB vendor command in affected API endpoints until the issue is resolved.
At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
