Unauthenticated code execution via WLAN out-of-bounds write
Published Oct 7, 2024 · Updated Oct 7, 2024
An out-of-bounds write in MediaTek WLAN drivers for listed chipsets and Android 13.0 through 15.0 allows remote attackers to execute code. Improper input validation lets WLAN input cause a write outside the intended buffer, but the affected function, input field, and buffer operation are undisclosed. Exploitation requires network reachability to the WLAN path but needs no privileges or user interaction, and successful exploitation executes code on the device.

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.
