Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Information Exposure in the mwifiex_cfg80211_dump_survey process. An attacker can obtain sensitive kernel memory contents by querying channel statistics before the data has been properly initialized.

Note: The Linux kernel project assigns a CVE to every bug fix it ships, whether or not the bug has been shown to be exploitable. This advisory was generated from that process and has not been individually assessed for exploitability. See the kernel's CVE process documentation: https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/master/Documentation/process/cve.rst
