CVE-2020-26143: Input Validation
First published: Tue May 11 2021(Updated: )
A vulnerability was found in Linux kernel, where the WiFi implementations assemble fragments even though some of them were sent in plaintext. This vulnerability can be abused to inject packets and/or exfiltrate selected fragments when another device sends fragmented frames and the WEP, CCMP, or GCMP data-confidentiality protocol is used.
