CVE-2020-25854 (GCVE-0-2020-25854)

Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2021-02-03 16:49 – Updated: 2024-08-04 15:49
VLAI?
Summary
The function DecWPA2KeyData() in the Realtek RTL8195A Wi-Fi Module prior to versions released in April 2020 (up to and excluding 2.08) does not validate the size parameter for an internal function, rt_arc4_crypt_veneer() or _AES_UnWRAP_veneer(), resulting in a stack buffer overflow which can be exploited for remote code execution or denial of service. An attacker can impersonate an Access Point and attack a vulnerable Wi-Fi client, by injecting a crafted packet into the WPA2 handshake. The attacker needs to know the network's PSK in order to exploit this.
Severity ?
No CVSS data available.
