Description

The 802.11 beacon handling routine failed to validate the length of an IEEE 802.11s Mesh ID before copying it to a heap-allocated buffer. While a FreeBSD Wi-Fi client is in scanning mode (i.e., not associated with a SSID) a malicious beacon frame may overwrite kernel memory, leading to remote code execution.

Affected configurations

• freebsd freebsd (< 12.3) • freebsd freebsd (>= 12.4 < 13.0) • freebsd freebsd 12.3 • freebsd freebsd 13.0 • freebsd freebsd 13.1
