CVE-2026-82079 is a stack-based buffer overflow in local wireless networking functionality on original Nintendo Switch consoles running system software before version 23.0.0. Crafted network traffic received after a device joins the console's temporary local wireless environment can overflow a stack buffer and corrupt control flow. An attacker may use return-oriented programming to redirect execution. The exposed workflows include Album's Send to Smartphone feature and the Send to Smartphone capability in Mario Kart Live: Home Circuit.

A high-severity stack-based buffer overflow in the original Nintendo Switch's local wireless networking code. An attacker within wireless range can, under constrained QR-code-enabled sharing workflows, send crafted packets and use return-oriented programming to execute unauthorized operations and potentially access information.
A high-severity stack-based buffer overflow in the original Nintendo Switch's local wireless networking code. A nearby attacker who satisfies specific QR-code-based interaction requirements can send crafted network packets, corrupt memory, employ return-oriented programming, execute unauthorized code, and potentially access console information.
A stack-based buffer overflow in the original Nintendo Switch local wireless networking stack. Under the described QR-code-related conditions, a nearby attacker can send crafted wireless packets to achieve arbitrary code execution or disclose information.
A stack-based buffer overflow in Nintendo Switch local wireless networking that could permit a nearby attacker to achieve arbitrary code execution via ROP using crafted wireless network traffic.
