In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: mac80211: bound S1G TIM PVB walk to the TIM element
ieee80211_s1g_check_tim() parses the S1G Partial Virtual Bitmap (PVB) of a
received TIM element. The TIM is handed in as the element payload:
ieee802_11_parse_elems_full() stores elems->tim = elem->data and
elems->tim_len = elem->datalen (net/mac80211/parse.c), so the valid bytes
are [tim, tim + tim_len).
When walking the encoded blocks the function passes the walker an end
sentinel of (const u8 *)tim + tim_len + 2, i.e. two bytes past the end of
the element. ieee80211_s1g_find_target_block() loops while (ptr + 1 <= end)
and dereferences ptr (and the per-mode ieee80211_s1g_len_*() helpers read
*ptr), so it can read up to two bytes beyond the TIM element -- an
out-of-bounds read of adjacent skb/heap data when the TIM is the last
element in the frame. The +2 appears to account for the element id/len
header, but tim already points past that header at the element payload, so
the addend is wrong.
Pass the correct element end, (const u8 *)tim + tim_len.
What the EG score is made of (scorer v4.0: the three questions the 0–10 score mixes, published apart · methodology)
- EG Severity
- Not assessed: no CVSS publishedA missing CVSS is not a severity of zero.
- EG Likelihood
- 0.2% within 30 daysSource: FIRST EPSS (model v2026.06.15, score date 2026-10-17). FIRST's exploitation probability, not an EchelonGraph model.
- Confirmed exploitation
- None on record (CISA KEV, EG-KEV Tier 1)Reported apart from the likelihood: an observed fact, not a probability.
- EG Priority
- No SSVC decision: EchelonGraph has not assessed this CVECISA BOD 26-04: 14 days if the affected system is publicly exposed; Fix on system upgrade if it is not.Each input and its source: the BOD 26-04 block below.
BOD 26-04 (CISA's remediation timeline, Table 1)14 days if the affected system is publicly exposed; Fix on system upgrade if it is not.
In CISA KEV no (CISA's KEV catalog) · Automatable no (CISA's BOD 26-04 default) · Technical impact total (CISA's BOD 26-04 default). Where an input reads “CISA's BOD 26-04 default”, no one has published it for this CVE, and CISA's implementation guidance says: “If “Automatable” and “Technical Impact” information items about a CVE ID are not available and the CVE ID is not in the KEV Catalog, CISA will treat its values as “no” and “total,” respectively, until CISA or a third party provides metadata about the CVE ID. CISA will always provide the Vulnrichment data for a CVE ID listed in the KEV Catalog.” Whether your system is publicly exposed is yours to answer. BOD 26-04 binds US Federal Civilian Executive Branch agencies; for anyone else it is CISA's published timeline, a reference rather than an obligation. The directive · how EchelonGraph applies it
