Description Dhananjay Arunesh 2021-05-14 03:50:45 UTC

A vulnerability was found in Linux Kernel, where the wifi implementations reassemble fragments with non-consecutive packet numbers. An adversary can abuse this to exfiltrate selected fragments. This vulnerability is exploitable when another device sends fragmented frames and the WEP, CCMP, or GCMP data-confidentiality protocol is used. Note that WEP is vulnerable to this attack by design.
