MediaTek WLAN AP Driver Out-of-Bounds Write Vulnerability Allowing Privilege Escalation

A vulnerability in the WLAN Access Point (AP) driver of certain MediaTek chipsets allows for a possible out-of-bounds write. This issue arises from an incorrect bounds check, which could lead to remote (proximal/adjacent) escalation of privilege without the need for additional execution privileges or user interaction. Affected chipsets include MT6890, MT7916, MT7981, and MT7986.

Impact

Exploitation of this vulnerability could result in unauthorized privilege escalation, allowing a user to gain elevated rights or access within the system.
