CVE-2019-11555

The EAP-pwd implementation in hostapd (EAP server) before 2.8 and wpa_supplicant (EAP peer) before 2.8 does not validate fragmentation reassembly state properly for a case where an unexpected fragment could be received. This could result in process termination due to a NULL pointer dereference (denial of service). This affects eap_server/eap_server_pwd.c and eap_peer/eap_pwd.c.

It was discovered that wpa_supplicant and hostapd incorrectly handled unexpected fragments when using EAP-pwd. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a denial of service.

USN-3969-1 fixed a vulnerability in wpa_supplicant and hostapd. This update provides the corresponding update for Ubuntu 14.04 ESM.

Original advisory details:

It was discovered that wpa_supplicant and hostapd incorrectly handled unexpected fragments when using EAP-pwd. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a denial of service.
