CVE-2026-43387 Details
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: staging: rtl8723bs: properly validate the data in rtw_get_ie_ex() Just like in commit 154828bf9559 ("staging: rtl8723bs: fix out-of-bounds read in rtw_get_ie() parser"), we don't trust the data in the frame so we should check the length better before acting on it
A vulnerability exists in the staging driver for RTL8723BS within the Linux kernel. The issue arises from inadequate validation of data in the 'rtw_get_ie_ex()' function, which can lead to out-of-bounds read errors. This vulnerability affects several versions of the Linux kernel.
Users can upgrade to the latest version of the Linux kernel, where this vulnerability has been addressed. Instructions for upgrading the kernel can be found in the official Linux kernel documentation.
