CVE-2020-24586
Last modified
CVE-2020-24586 is a low-severity vulnerability rated 3.5/10 on the CVSS scale. The 802.11 standard that underpins Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA, WPA2, and WPA3) and Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) doesn't require that received fragments be cleared from memory after (re)connecting to a network. Under the right circumstances, when another device sends fragmented frames encrypted using WEP, CCMP, or GCMP, this can be abused to inject arbitrary network packets and/or exfiltrate user data.. EPSS estimates a 5.76% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
