Base vector

AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:H

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions: Linux kernel (affected versions not specified)

Description: The issue is related to a fortified-memset warning in the carl9170 tx release() function, which may cause memory corruption. The warning is triggered by a call to write overflow field, indicating a potential write beyond the size of a field. The problem is not fully addressed by using memset after() due to the complexity of the union and anonymous struct involved. Using two separate memset() calls on the two members resolves the warning.

Recommendations: At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
