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.

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: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: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:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H

A vulnerability in Cisco access point (AP) software could allow an unauthenticated, adjacent attacker to cause a denial of service (DoS) condition on an affected device. This vulnerability is due to insufficient validation of certain parameters within 802.11 frames. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending a wireless 802.11 association request frame with crafted parameters to an affected device. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to cause an unexpected reload of an affected device, resulting in a DoS condition.

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

A vulnerability in the networking component of Cisco access point (AP) software could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to cause a temporary disruption of service. This vulnerability is due to overuse of AP resources. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by connecting to an AP on an affected device as a wireless client and sending a high rate of traffic over an extended period of time. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to cause the Datagram TLS (DTLS) session to tear down and reset, causing a denial of service (DoS) condition.
