Information disclosure via unchecked WLAN buffer read
Published Oct 7, 2024 · Updated Mar 13, 2025
Out-of-bounds read in the MediaTek WLAN driver allows remote authenticated users with System privileges to disclose memory contents. The driver fails to validate untrusted WLAN input before reading beyond the intended buffer; MediaTek has not disclosed the affected routine or input format. Exploitation requires System-level execution privileges but no user interaction, and the reported consequence is limited to information disclosure.
