A vulnerability, which was classified as critical, has been found in Broadcom brcmfmac WiFi Driver (Hardware Driver Software) (affected version unknown). This issue affects the function brcmf_wowl_nd_results
of the component Wake-up on Wireless LAN. The manipulation as part of a WiFi Packet leads to a heap-based overflow vulnerability. Using CWE to declare the problem leads to CWE-122. A heap overflow condition is a buffer overflow, where the buffer that can be overwritten is allocated in the heap portion of memory, generally meaning that the buffer was allocated using a routine such as malloc(). Impacted is confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The summary by CVE is:
The Broadcom brcmfmac WiFi driver prior to commit 1b5e2423164b3670e8bc9174e4762d297990deff is vulnerable to a heap buffer overflow. If the Wake-up on Wireless LAN functionality is configured, a malicious event frame can be constructed to trigger an heap buffer overflow in the brcmf_wowl_nd_results function. This vulnerability can be exploited with compromised chipsets to compromise the host, or when used in combination with CVE-2019-9503, can be used remotely. In the worst case scenario, by sending specially-crafted WiFi packets, a remote, unauthenticated attacker may be able to execute arbitrary code on a vulnerable system. More typically, this vulnerability will result in denial-of-service conditions.
The bug was discovered 04/17/2019. The weakness was disclosed 01/16/2020. The identification of this vulnerability is CVE-2019-9500 since 03/01/2019. The exploitation is known to be difficult. The attack can only be done within the local network. No form of authentication is needed for a successful exploitation. It demands that the victim is doing some kind of user interaction.
