Summary

The EAP-pwd peer implementation in hostapd and wpa_supplicant 1.0 through 2.4 does not clear the L (Length) and M (More) flags before determining if a response should be fragmented, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via a crafted message.

    descriptionSeveral vulnerabilities have been discovered in wpa_supplicant and hostapd. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following problems : - CVE-2015-4141 Kostya Kortchinsky of the Google Security Team discovered a vulnerability in the WPS UPnP function with HTTP chunked transfer encoding which may result in a denial of service. - CVE-2015-4142 Kostya Kortchinsky of the Google Security Team discovered a vulnerability in the WMM Action frame processing which may result in a denial of service. - CVE-2015-4143 CVE-2015-4144 CVE-2015-4145 CVE-2015-4146 Kostya Kortchinsky of the Google Security Team discovered that EAP-pwd payload is not properly validated which may result in a denial of service. - CVE-2015-5310 Jouni Malinen discovered a flaw in the WMM Sleep Mode Response frame processing. A remote attacker can take advantage of this flaw to mount a denial of service. - CVE-2015-5314 CVE-2015-5315 Jouni Malinen discovered a flaw in the handling of EAP-pwd messages which may result in a denial of service. - CVE-2015-5316 Jouni Malinen discovered a flaw in the handling of EAP-pwd Confirm messages which may result in a denial of service. - CVE-2015-8041 Incomplete WPS and P2P NFC NDEF record payload length validation may result in a denial of service.
