Technical details

A stack-based buffer overflow (CWE-121) exists in the NXP moal.ko Wi-Fi kernel driver version 5.1.7.10. The vulnerability is located in the parse_cfg_get_line function within mlinux/moal_init.c, which is called by woal_setup_module_param. The root cause is a lack of bounds checking when reading configuration file lines into a fixed-size stack buffer (MAX_LINE_LEN) via the mod_para parameter. A local attacker with high privileges can provide a specially crafted configuration file with an overlong line to overflow the stack, leading to a kernel panic or arbitrary code execution in kernel space. NXP has confirmed the vulnerability and released a fix.
