Official Description
Multiple buffer overflows in the Marvell wireless driver, as used in Linksys WAP4400N Wi-Fi access point with firmware 1.2.17 on the Marvell 88W8361P-BEM1 chipset, and other products, allow remote 802.11-authenticated users to cause a denial of service (wireless access point crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via an association request with long (1) rates, (2) extended rates, and unspecified other information elements.
Technical Analysis
CVE-2007-5475 can be exploited remotely over the network without requiring physical or adjacent access, significantly expanding the attack surface for threat actors.
Exploitation requires some privileges, which limits the exposure to scenarios where an attacker has already gained initial access.
From a weakness classification perspective (CWE-119): Buffer overflow vulnerabilities can lead to arbitrary code execution or denial of service by corrupting adjacent memory.
