NVD Description

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

An issue was found in Linux kernel before 5.5.4. The mwifiex_cmd_append_vsie_tlv() function in drivers/net/wireless/marvell/mwifiex/scan.c allows local users to gain privileges or cause a denial of service because of an incorrect memcpy and buffer overflow, aka CID-b70261a288ea.
