{

"value": "AV:A - The vulnerability is triggered by processing crafted WiFi beacon frames received over the air. The attacker must be within WiFi range of the victim device (adjacent network).\nAC:L - The attacker can reliably trigger this by broadcasting crafted beacon frames with a spoofed BSSID containing a malicious ML Reconfiguration element. No special conditions beyond WiFi proximity are needed once the victim is associated.\nPR:N - No privileges or authentication are required. WiFi beacon frames are unencrypted management frames that any device in range can inject by spoofing the associated AP's BSSID.\nUI:N - No user interaction is required. The victim device automatically processes beacon frames from its associated AP while connected to a WiFi network.\nS:U - The vulnerability affects the kernel itself; exploitation stays within the same security authority (kernel context). There is no crossing of a virtualization or sandbox boundary.\nC:H - This is a stack-based out-of-bounds write where the attacker controls the written value. Stack corruption can be leveraged to read arbitrary memory through carefully crafted exploitation techniques.\nI:H - The stack-based buffer overflow allows the attacker to write a controlled 2-byte value past the array bounds on the stack, potentially corrupting return addresses or other stack data, which can lead to arbitrary code execution in kernel context.\nA:H - The stack corruption will at minimum cause a kernel crash/oops, resulting in a denial of service. Stack buffer overflows reliably crash the kernel when they corrupt critical stack data."
