Transient WLAN interruption via management-frame over-read
Published Jun 6, 2023 · Updated Aug 2, 2024
Buffer over-read in Qualcomm Snapdragon WLAN firmware allows remote attackers to interrupt WLAN service via crafted management frames. The firmware reads beyond the available data while processing an untrusted beacon or probe-response frame, producing a transient denial of service. No association, authentication, or user action is required; the published impact is limited to temporary WLAN unavailability.
