CVE-2017-11089

Published: 16 November 2017

In android for MSM, Firefox OS for MSM, QRD Android, with all Android releases from CAF using the Linux kernel, a buffer overread is observed in nl80211_set_station when user space application sends attribute NL80211_ATTR_LOCAL_MESH_POWER_MODE with data of size less than 4 bytes

From the Ubuntu Security Team

It was discovered that the netlink 802.11 configuration interface in the Linux kernel did not properly validate some attributes passed from userspace. A local attacker with the CAP_NET_ADMIN privilege could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code.
