NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream kernel-rt-trace package and not the kernel-rt-trace package as distributed by RHEL. See How to fix? for RHEL:7 relevant fixed versions and status.

rtl_p2p_noa_ie in drivers/net/wireless/realtek/rtlwifi/ps.c in the Linux kernel through 5.3.6 lacks a certain upper-bound check, leading to a buffer overflow.
