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.
The product performs operations on a memory buffer, but it reads from or writes to a memory location outside the buffer's intended boundary. This may result in read or write operations on unexpected memory locations that could be linked to other variables, data structures, or internal program data.
