What is CVE-2018-9395?

The MediaTek connectivity drivers contain a vulnerability in the 'mtk_cfg80211_vendor_packet_keep_alive_start' and 'mtk_cfg80211_vendor_set_config' functions. This flaw arises from an out-of-bounds write due to improper bounds checking. Exploiting this vulnerability could enable a local attacker to escalate privileges to system execution levels.
