Broadcom WiFi Driver Flaws Expose Computers, Phones, IoT to RCE Attacks

Broadcom WiFi chipsets have been found to contain vulnerabilities impacting multiple operating systems and allowing potential attackers to remotely execute arbitrary code and to trigger denial-of-service attacks. Quarkslab intern Hugues Anguelkov reported five vulnerabilities he found in the “Broadcom wl driver and the open-source brcmfmac driver”” The vulnerabilities are present both in the Linux kernel and firmware of affected Broadcom chipsets. Since these chips are widespread they constitute a high value target to attackers and any vulnerability found in them should be considered to pose high risk.”
