"value": "AV:A - The vulnerable rtl8723bs path processes 802.11 beacon/probe response information from nearby WiFi radios during scan/join/roam handling, so the attacker must be within wireless range rather than on an IP network.\nAC:L - An attacker can craft and transmit malformed management-frame data and trigger repeated scan/join candidate processing; no race or hard-to-control memory layout condition is required to reach the vulnerable IE walker.\nPR:N - The over-the-air management frames are processed before any WiFi authentication with the attacker-controlled AP/BSS, so no local or authenticated privileges are required.\nUI:N - Once the interface is scanning or attempting WPS/join/roam, the driver processes received management frames without a per-attack victim action.\nS:U - The impact is within the kernel/driver security authority and does not cross a hypervisor, IOMMU, or separate security scope boundary.\nC:H - The WPS path can underflow the IE length and pass a huge unsigned bound to `rtw_get_wps_ie`, causing an unbounded out-of-bounds kernel memory read.\nI:N - The affected calls only scan/compare IE bytes and do not copy attacker data into an out-of-bounds destination or provide an apparent write primitive.\nA:H - The out-of-bounds kernel read can fault or otherwise destabilize the kernel driver, making a kernel crash/oops a plausible outcome."
