CVE-2026-31780

Severity CVSS v4.0:
Pending analysis
Type:
CWE-787 Out-of-bounds Write

Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br /> <br /> wifi: wilc1000: fix u8 overflow in SSID scan buffer size calculation<br /> <br /> The variable valuesize is declared as u8 but accumulates the total<br /> length of all SSIDs to scan. Each SSID contributes up to 33 bytes<br /> (IEEE80211_MAX_SSID_LEN + 1), and with WILC_MAX_NUM_PROBED_SSID (10)<br /> SSIDs the total can reach 330, which wraps around to 74 when stored<br /> in a u8.<br /> <br /> This causes kmalloc to allocate only 75 bytes while the subsequent<br /> memcpy writes up to 331 bytes into the buffer, resulting in a 256-byte<br /> heap buffer overflow.<br /> <br /> Widen valuesize from u8 to u32 to accommodate the full range.
