Description
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's wilc1000 Wi-Fi driver. A local attacker with low privileges could exploit a memory leak in the wilc_mac_xmit() function, which fails to free a socket buffer (skb) under certain conditions. This resource exhaustion vulnerability can lead to a Denial of Service (DoS) on the affected system.
