CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H

A vulnerability in the authentication functionality of Cisco Wireless LAN Controller (WLC) Software could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to bypass authentication controls and log in to the device through the management interface This vulnerability is due to the improper implementation of the password validation algorithm. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by logging in to an affected device with crafted credentials. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to bypass authentication and log in to the device as an administrator. The attacker could obtain privileges that are the same level as an administrative user but it depends on the crafted credentials. Note: This vulnerability exists because of a non-default device configuration that must be present for it to be exploitable. For details about the vulnerable configuration, see the Vulnerable Products section of this advisory.

CVSS:3.1/AV:A/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H

A flaw was found in the Linux kernels wifi implementation. An attacker connected to the wireless network can send 'authentication and key management' frames to any participant on the network. These frames are only intended to be sent from the controlling access point however the kernel did not prevent retransmission of these packets from non-controlling nodes.

CVSS:3.1/AV:A/AC:H/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's wifi implementation wherein an attacker within wireless range is able to abuse a logic flaw in the wifi implementation by reassembling packets from multiple fragments under different keys and they would be treated as valid. This allows an attacker to send a fragment under an incorrect key and be treated as a valid fragment under the new key.

CVSS:3.1/AV:A/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:N

A flaw was found in the Linux kernels wifi implementation. An attacker within wireless broadcast range can inject custom data into the wireless communication circumventing checks on the data. This can cause the frame to pass checks and be considered a valid frame of a different type.

CVSS:3.1/AV:A/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:N

A vulnerability was found in Linux Kernel. Where the Wifi implementations accept plaintext frames in a protected Wi-Fi network. An adversary can abuse this to inject arbitrary data frames independent of the network configuration.
