Amendment

The SLES security team deemed this advisory irrelevant for SLES:15.1.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream kernel-rt-extra package and not the kernel-rt-extra package as distributed by SLES.

In the Linux kernel through 5.3.2, cfg80211_mgd_wext_giwessid in net/wireless/wext-sme.c does not reject a long SSID IE, leading to a Buffer Overflow.
