A flaw out of bounds read in the Linux kernel Marvell mwifiex driver was found in the way user sends malicious Wi-Fi packets. A remote user with Wi-Fi connection could use this flaw to crash the system.
Statement: A vulnerability in the Marvell mwifiex driver (mwifiex, Marvell Wi-Fi) allows malformed over-the-air frames to trigger out-of-bounds reads and an integer underflow in the RX
