CVE-2026-74341
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: wcn36xx: fix heap overflow from oversized firmware HAL response
The firmware response dispatcher copies all synchronous HAL responses into the 4096-byte hal_buf without validating the response length. A response exceeding WCN36XX_HAL_BUF_SIZE causes a heap buffer overflow with firmware-controlled content.
Add a bounds check on the response length.
CVSS
- Versión: 3.1
- Vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:A/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H
- Puntuación base: 8.8
Probabilidad de explotación (EPSS)
- Probabilidad de explotación en los próximos 30 días: 0.52%
- Percentil entre todas las CVEs puntuadas: 42
- Fecha de la puntuación: 6/10/2026
EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System, de FIRST) estima la probabilidad de que una vulnerabilidad sea explotada en 30 días. Complementa a CVSS (impacto) y a CISA KEV (explotación confirmada).
