kernel: buffer overflow in drivers/net/wireless/iwlwifi/iwl-agn-sta.c
In the Linux kernel before 3.4, a buffer overflow occurs in drivers/net/wireless/iwlwifi/iwl-agn-sta.c, which will cause at least memory corruption.
A vulnerability was found in the Linux kernel’s Intel wireless driver (drivers/net/wireless/iwlwifi/iwl-agn-sta.c) where the driver could be forced to connect to an invalid station. An attacker could use this flaw to corrupt memory or create a situation allowing for privilege escalation.
Statement: The patch committed by upstream will prevent the misuse of the invalid station id, however it does not prevent the incorrect state being entered. Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6,7 and 8 are not affected by this flaw. Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 does not have the "fix" applied and may
