"value": "In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nstaging: rtl8723bs: fix OOB read in rtw_restruct_wmm_ie()\n\nrtw_restruct_wmm_ie() scans in_ie for a WMM IE with:\n\n\twhile (i < in_len) {\n\t\t...\n\t\tif (i + 5 < in_len && in_ie[i] == 0xDD && ...) {\n\t\t\t...\n\t\t\tbreak;\n\t\t}\n\t\ti += (in_ie[i + 1] + 2); /* to the next IE element */\n\t}\n\nWhen the \"i + 5 < in_len\" match check fails simply because i is\nwithin 5 bytes of the end of the buffer (i.e. no WMM IE was found\nnear the tail of in_ie), execution falls through to\n\"i += (in_ie[i + 1] + 2)\", which reads in_ie[i + 1]. If i == in_len\n- 1 at that point, this is a 1-byte out-of-bounds read of an\nattacker-influenced IE buffer built from association/scan data.\n\nCommit a75281626fc8f (\"staging: rtl8723bs: fix potential\nout-of-bounds read in rtw_restruct_wmm_ie\") added the \"i + 5 <\nin_len\" guard to the match condition itself, but did not add an\nequivalent guard before the fallthrough advance, so the same class\nof OOB read remained reachable through the non-matching path.\n\nAdd an explicit bounds check before advancing to the next IE."

"value": "AV:A - rtw_restruct_wmm_ie() walks WMM IEs from scanned BSS candidates filled by collect_bss_info() from over-the-air beacon and probe-response frames (OnBeacon/OnProbeRsp). The attacker must be in WiFi radio range; kernel guidance maps WiFi frame injection to Adjacent.\nAC:L - The attacker fully controls beacon/probe IE layout and can place a truncated tail IE so the walker lands at in_len-1, making the unguarded in_ie[i+1] read deterministic. wmm_enable defaults to 1, and no race or attacker-uncontrollable memory layout is required.\nPR:N - Scan and join/roam consume attacker beacon IEs before any authentication with the rogue BSS. No local account, capability, or user-namespace privilege is required.\nUI:N - RTW_ROAM_ON_EXPIRED is enabled by default, so association expiry or an attacker-driven reconnect automatically calls rtw_select_and_join_from_scanned_queue() without a new victim click. An evil-twin BSS matching the desired SSID is selected by RSSI during normal WiFi operation.\nS:U - The out-of-bounds read and any resulting kernel impact remain inside the rtl8723bs driver on the host. This is not a VM escape, IOMMU bypass, or other cross-authority boundary crossing.\nC:L - The fallthrough path reads exactly one byte past the declared IE length (in_ie[i+1] when i==in_len-1). Kernel guidance scores a strictly bounded few-byte out-of-bounds read as Low confidentiality rather than an arbitrary-read primitive.\nI:N - The bug only reads in_ie[i+1] to compute the next IE offset and then exits the loop. It does not write out of bounds or provide a data-modification or control-flow hijack primitive.\nA:H - An out-of-bounds kernel read can oops or panic on hardened, KASAN, or redzone kernels, and an adjacent attacker can retrigger the join/roam path with further crafted management frames to deny availability."
