Descriptions

Multiple integer overflows in the NDEF record parser in hostapd before 2.5 and wpa_supplicant before 2.5 allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (process crash or infinite loop) via a large payload length field value in an (1) WPS or (2) P2P NFC NDEF record, which triggers an out-of-bounds read.

Múltiples desbordamientos de entero en el analizador de registro NDEF en hostapd en versiones anteriores a 2.5 y wpa_supplicant en versiones anteriores a 2.5 permite a atacantes remotos causar una denegación de servicio (caída de proceso o bucle infinito) a través de un valor de campo payload length grande en un registro (1) WPS o (2) P2P NFC NDEF, lo que desencadena una lectura fuera de rangos.

Several vulnerabilities have been discovered in wpa_supplicant and hostapd.
