Description
CORE/HDD/src/wlan_hdd_wext.c in the Qualcomm Wi-Fi driver in Android before 2016-09-05 on Nexus 5X devices does not properly validate the arguments array, which allows attackers to gain privileges via a crafted application that sends a WE_UNIT_TEST_CMD command, aka Android internal bug 29944562 and Qualcomm internal bug CR997797.
