What is CVE-2018-9393?

A vulnerability exists within the MediaTek Wi-Fi driver that allows an out-of-bounds (OOB) write due to an inadequate bounds check in the 'procfile_write' function. This flaw could enable local attackers to escalate their privileges, gaining unauthorized access to system execution capabilities. Exploitation of this vulnerability does not mandate user interaction, which heightens its risk. Mitigation measures are necessary to protect systems that utilize this driver.
