Recieve buffer overflow on WiFi/Ethernet card

Is it possible that if an attacker sends an abnormally large packet to a WiFi / Ethernet card of a computer, it will write past the buffer of the onboard memory and into other areas? Like maybe the DMA descriptors for DMA requests or even executable code areas like firmware that is loaded from EEPROM into the onboard memory (although it's usually protected, so it's a big if)
