Description msiddiqu 2020-03-31 19:37:33 UTC 
A vulnerability was found in unifi and r8180 WiFi drivers in Kernel where there is a possible out of bounds write due to a missing bounds check. This could lead to local escalation of privilege with no additional execution privileges needed. User interaction is not needed for exploitation.
