In android for MSM, Firefox OS for MSM, QRD Android, with all Android releases from CAF using the Linux kernel, currently, the value of SIR_MAC_AUTH_CHALLENGE_LENGTH is set to 128 which may result in buffer overflow since the frame parser allows challenge text of length up to 253 bytes, but the driver can not handle challenge text larger than 128 bytes.

Security readout for executives and security teams

CVE-2017-11015 is a buffer overflow issue in Qualcomm CAF-based Android/Linux kernel code. A parser can accept challenge text larger than the driver’s 128-byte handling limit. For executives, the concern is legacy mobile or embedded Android devices using affected Qualcomm CAF releases, especially if they are unmanaged or no longer receive OEM updates. Exposure is most likely in older Qualcomm-based Android, QRD Android, or Firefox OS for MSM builds derived from CAF Linux kernel releases. The bundle does not identify exact chipsets, device models, kernel branches, or OEM firmware versions. Prioritize this for legacy-device risk management rather than emergency response. If affected devices remain in production and cannot be verified as patched, treat them as higher operational risk because the issue is in low-level vendor kernel code. Mitigation focus: Check Android and OEM bulletins for CVE-2017-11015 coverage.; Apply vendor firmware or OS updates that include the referenced Android security bulletin fixes.; Identify and retire unsupported Qualcomm CAF-based Android builds..
