Transient service interruption via FTM buffer over-read
Published Mar 4, 2024 · Updated Aug 12, 2024
Buffer over-read in Qualcomm WLAN Firmware allows remote attackers to interrupt service using a malformed 802.11az FTM frame. The proprietary Fine Time Measurement frame parser reads beyond the supplied frame buffer while processing a malformed protocol frame. No authentication or user interaction is required; the documented consequence is a transient WLAN service interruption.

Exploitability
Present is not the same as exploitable
Compare your product and version with the public record. A matching version still requires validation against your environment.
Is a vulnerable build present?
Compare these published version ranges with your installed build and any vendor patches.
