Inside rtw_wep_decrypt(), length is computed as:\n\n    length = len - WLAN_HDR_A3_LEN - iv_len\n\nand then passed as (length - 4) to crc32_le().  If len is less than\nWLAN_HDR_A3_LEN + iv_len + icv_len (32 bytes), length - 4 is negative\nand, after the implicit cast to size_t, causes crc32_le() to read far\nbeyond the frame buffer.  Add a minimum length check before accessing\nthe IV field and calling the decryption path.\n\nWhen processing a seq=3 response, rtw_get_ie() stores the Challenge\nText IE length in ie_len, but the subsequent memcmp() always reads 128\nbytes regardless of ie_len.  IEEE 802.11 mandates a challenge text of\nexactly 128 bytes; reject any IE whose length field differs, matching\nthe check already applied to OnAuthClient().","cvss_v4":null,"cvss_v3":{"version":"3.1","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:A/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","score":8.8},"cwes":["CWE-125"],"references":["https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/1f6c9d255bdda41216b6e34c96aa2b1abee0bb84","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/3e44a7665f3abd320a80d9c64ee4a93317041b8b","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/64ec4192d9c10e96922245d4a6747304cc76b19d","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/665e1ecb68b4e8419604e70a33f02d1c8b0222c6","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/87cccc2a767f17dcab71e3b9fe5ae29b5516c5ce"],"products":["linux:linux_kernel"],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-21T03:56:58.798400159+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2026-64445","score":0.00317,"percentile":0.24439,"date":"2026-10-25"},"kev":null,"osv":[],"attribution":["This product uses the NVD API but is not endorsed or certified by the NVD.","EPSS scores: FIRST Exploit Prediction Scoring System, https://www.first.org/epss","Known exploited vulnerabilities: CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog, https://www.cisa.gov/known-exploited-vulnerabilities-catalog","Package advisories: OSV (https://osv.dev), from the GitHub Advisory Database, PyPA, Go, RustSec and other ecosystem databases, under CC-BY 4.0 or CC0","CVE records: the CVE Program's CVE List (https://www.cve.org), under its terms of use (https://www.cve.org/Legal/TermsOfUse).
