"value": "AV:L - The overflow is reached only via local wireless-extensions ioctls (SIOCSIWSCAN or SIOCSIWPRIV→rtw_wx_set_priv) that deliver an attacker-crafted CSCAN buffer into rtw_wx_set_scan(); no received WiFi frame or remote peer path invokes this parser.\nAC:L - The attacker fully controls the CSCAN section type, sec_len, and payload in a single ioctl, and the missing Ssid[32] bound check makes the stack overflow deterministic with no race or attacker-uncontrollable condition.\nPR:L - wext_permission_check() requires capable(CAP_NET_ADMIN), a capability routinely held by non-root WiFi management daemons (wpa_supplicant/NetworkManager) on the phones and embedded devices this USB RTL8188EU driver targets, and this CNA consistently scores CAP_NET_ADMIN-gated WEXT bugs as PR:L.\nUI:N - The attacker issues the ioctl directly against an already-registered r8188eu interface; no victim action such as mounting media or opening a crafted file is required.\nS:U - The stack overflow corrupts kernel stack/memory within the same host kernel security authority and does not cross a VM, IOMMU, or sandbox boundary.\nC:H - Attacker-controlled out-of-bounds stack writes (and unbounded ssid_index growth past RTW_SSID_SCAN_AMOUNT) are memory-corruption primitives that can be leveraged for arbitrary kernel memory disclosure under standard stack-smash exploitation.\nI:H - This is a classic stack buffer overflow of Ssid[32] with attacker-chosen length and contents, enabling overwrite of adjacent stack state and return addresses for arbitrary write / control-flow hijack.\nA:H - Corrupting the on-stack ssid[RTW_SSID_SCAN_AMOUNT] array and frames beyond it reliably produces kernel oops/panic even without full code-execution exploitation."
