| Description: | Timo Warns discovered that the internal authentication server of hostapd, a user space IEEE 802.11 AP and IEEE 802.1X/WPA/WPA2/EAP Authenticator, is vulnerable to a buffer overflow when processing fragmented EAP-TLS messages. As a result, an internal overflow checking routine terminates the process. An attacker can abuse this flaw to conduct denial of service attacks via crafted EAP-TLS messages prior to any authentication. |
