Pre-auth kernel code execution via unchecked IE length
Published Jun 5, 2026 · Updated Jun 5, 2026
Heap buffer overflow in Morse Micro HaLowLink 2 before 2.11.13 allows physically proximate attackers to crash the kernel or execute code. morse_dot11ah_find_s1g_caps_for_bssid() passes an unvalidated S1G Capabilities IE length to memcpy for a 15-byte heap buffer, permitting up to 240 bytes of attacker-controlled overwrite. A crafted beacon or probe response triggers the flaw during normal scanning without authentication, association, or user interaction.

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.
