* kernel: heap overflow in mwifiex_update_vs_ie() function of Marvell WiFi
driver (CVE-2019-14816)
* kernel: heap-based buffer overflow in mwifiex_process_country_ie()
function in drivers/net/wireless/marvell/mwifiex/sta_ioctl.c
(CVE-2019-14895)
* kernel: buffer overflow in cfg80211_mgd_wext_giwessid in
net/wireless/wext-sme.c (CVE-2019-17133)
* kernel: rtl_p2p_noa_ie in drivers/net/wireless/realtek/rtlwifi/ps.c in
the Linux kernel lacks a certain upper-bound check, leading to a buffer
overflow (CVE-2019-17666)
For more details about the security issue(s), including the impact, a CVSS
score, acknowledgments, and other related information, refer to the CVE
