CVE-2018-14855

Status: ModifiedMedium (6.3)—

Buffer overflow in dhd_bus_flow_ring_flush_response in drivers/net/wireless/bcmdhd4358/dhd_pcie.c in the bcmdhd4358 Wi-Fi driver on the Samsung Galaxy S6 allow an attacker (who has obtained code execution on the Wi-Fi chip) to cause the device driver to perform invalid memory accesses. The Samsung ID is SVE-2018-11785.

CVSS

Exploitation probability (EPSS)

EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System, FIRST) estimates how likely a vulnerability is to be exploited in the wild within 30 days. It complements CVSS (impact) and CISA KEV (confirmed exploitation).
