Descriptions

Integer underflow in the WMM Action frame parser in hostapd 0.5.5 through 2.4 and wpa_supplicant 0.7.0 through 2.4, when used for AP mode MLME/SME functionality, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via a crafted frame, which triggers an out-of-bounds read.

Subdesbordamiento de enteros en el analizador sintáctico Frame de WMM Action en hostapd 0.5.5 hasta 2.4 y wpa_supplicant 0.7.0 hasta 2.4, cuando utilizado para la funcionalidad MLME/SME del modo AP, permite a atacantes remotos causar una denegación de servicio (caída) a través de un Frame manipulado, lo que provoca una lectura fuera de rango.

An integer underflow flaw, leading to a buffer over-read, was found in the way wpa_supplicant handled WMM Action frames. A specially crafted frame could possibly allow an attacker within Wi-Fi radio range to cause wpa_supplicant to crash.
