25
FAUCET Score

CVE-2019-14815 describes a heap overflow vulnerability in the Marvell Wifi Driver's mwifiex_set_wmm_params() function within the Linux Kernel, affecting products from vendors like NetApp and Red Hat. This high-severity flaw (CVSS 7.8) allows a local, low-privileged attacker to achieve high impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability without user interaction. Despite its severity, there is currently no public exploit code available (Metasploit, Nuclei, ExploitDB), it is not listed in the KEV catalog, and it has received no significant community discussion or media coverage, suggesting it is not actively exploited.
