For WLAN_EID_RSN it compares\n  pIE->data + 8, requiring pIE->length >= 12.  Neither requirement\n  is checked.\n\nAdd the missing IE header and payload bounds checks and guard each\ndata access with an explicit pIE->length minimum, matching the\npattern established in update_beacon_info().","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:N/A:H","score":8.1},"cwes":["CWE-125"],"references":["https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/204b22c8df115370037248859bf0fa62db73a396","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/3bf39f711ff27c64be8680a8938bcc5001982e81","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/4380b3860d887a13555ff024a58dfc05b490dfd6","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/6f26cc55affd9d7f88ae2f5d12db4ecf9072c209","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/a6105ea8ca6ebbc04beaf3bcbf7dbb5985f5d395"],"products":[],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-21T03:56:58.798400159+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2026-64536","score":0.00259,"percentile":0.17375,"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).
