Stack-based buffer overflow in the SET_WPS_IE IOCTL implementation in wlan_hdd_hostapd.c in the WLAN (aka Wi-Fi) driver for the Linux kernel 3.x and 4.x, as used in Qualcomm Innovation Center (QuIC) Android contributions for MSM devices and other products, allows attackers to gain privileges via a crafted application that uses a long WPS IE element.

Security readout for executives and security teams

CVE-2015-0570 is a Wi-Fi driver flaw that could let a malicious local app gain higher privileges on affected Android/Qualcomm MSM-based devices. The business risk is highest where older Android devices remain in use and cannot receive vendor security updates. Likely exposure is older Android devices using Qualcomm Innovation Center WLAN driver contributions for MSM devices or downstream products based on those drivers. The provided CVE data does not identify a complete affected product or version matrix. Treat this as a legacy mobile fleet risk. It is not described as remotely exploitable, but local privilege escalation can turn a malicious app into full device compromise. Prioritize unsupported Android devices and business-critical mobile endpoints. Mitigation focus: Check OEM and Android security bulletins for CVE-2015-0570 remediation coverage.; Update affected Android firmware to a vendor build containing the May 2016 security fixes.; Retire or isolate devices that cannot receive vendor-supported firmware updates..
