CVE-2019-9501 Information

Description

The Broadcom wl WiFi driver is vulnerable to a heap buffer overflow. By supplying a vendor information element with a data length larger than 32 bytes a heap buffer overflow is triggered in wlc_wpa_sup_eapol. 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.
