Am I affected?

With a domain, we read the version its public headers and pages expose. A distribution build can carry the fix under an older number.

Description

A stack buffer overflow in Realtek RTL8710 (and other Ameba-based devices) can lead to remote code execution via the "memcpy" function, when an attacker in Wi-Fi range sends a crafted "Encrypted GTK" value as part of the WPA2 4-way-handshake.
