CVE-2025-29338 Details
Description
NXP moal.ko Wi-Fi driver 5.1.7.10 FW version from v17.92.1.p149.43 To v17.92.1.p149.157 was discovered to contain a buffer overflow via the mod_para parameter in the woal_init_module_param function.
A stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability has been identified in the NXP 'moal.ko' Wi-Fi kernel driver, version 5.1.7.10, across several firmware releases. The vulnerability arises in the 'woal_setup_module_param' function, where the 'mod_para' parameter is processed without proper bounds checking. This flaw allows lines of arbitrary length to overflow a fixed-size stack buffer, corrupting the stack and potentially leading to a kernel panic. The issue requires root privileges to exploit, as it involves loading a malicious configuration file via a kernel module parameter.
Update to a firmware version later than v17.92.1.p149.157, which includes the patch for this vulnerability. NXP has released the patch as part of a formal software update.
