Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: staging: rtl8723bs: properly validate the data in rtw_get_ie_ex() Just like in commit 154828bf9559 ("staging: rtl8723bs: fix out-of-bounds read in rtw_get_ie() parser"), we don't trust the data in the frame so we should check the length better before acting on it

Affected configurations

• linux linux kernel (>= 4.12 < 5.10.253) • linux linux kernel (>= 5.11 < 5.15.203) • linux linux kernel (>= 5.16 < 6.1.167) • linux linux kernel (>= 6.2 < 6.6.130) • linux linux kernel (>= 6.7 < 6.12.78) • linux linux kernel (>= 6.13 < 6.18.19) • linux linux kernel (>= 6.19 < 6.19.9) • linux linux kernel 7.0
