Detailsinfo

A vulnerability classified as critical has been found in Linux Kernel 3.0.63 (Operating System). This affects the function ieee80211_radiotap_iterator_init. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a memory corruption vulnerability. CWE is classifying the issue as CWE-119. The product performs operations on a memory buffer, but it can read from or write to a memory location that is outside of the intended boundary of the buffer. This is going to have an impact on availability. The summary by CVE is:

The ieee80211_radiotap_iterator_init function in net/wireless/radiotap.c in the Linux kernel before 3.11.7 does not check whether a frame contains any data outside of the header, which might allow attackers to cause a denial of service (buffer over-read) via a crafted header.

The weakness was shared 12/09/2013 by Evan Huus (Website). The advisory is shared at github.com. This vulnerability is uniquely identified as CVE-2013-7027 since 12/09/2013. The exploitability is told to be easy. The attack needs to approached within the local network. No form of authentication is needed for exploitation. Technical details are known, but no exploit is available. The price for an exploit might be around USD $5k-$25k at the moment (estimation calculated on 01/11/2022).
