Researcher Quentin Kaiser presented at Hexacon a vulnerability in Broadcom's proprietary 802.11 implementation, present in its SDK since at least 2010, that gives an attacker within Wi-Fi range unauthenticated remote code execution on affected routers without the network key or WPS enrollment. An incomplete patch was silently released in …
Researcher Quentin Kaiser (QTNKSR) disclosed a memory corruption flaw in Broadcom's Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) implementation. It allows an unauthenticated attacker within wireless range to disclose memory and execute code, including as root, on vulnerable routers. The attacker does not need the Wi-Fi password, network membership or a co…
