Synopsis

Description

EAP-pwd implementation in hostapd (EAP server) and wpa_supplicant (EAP peer) does not to validate the received scalar and element values in EAP-pwd-Commit messages properly. This could result in attacks that would be able to complete EAP-pwd authentication exchange without the attacker having to know the used password.

See https://w1.fi/security/2019-4/eap-pwd-missing-commit-validation.txt for a detailed description of the bug. Impact : All wpa_supplicant and hostapd versions with EAP-pwd support.

Solution

Update the affected packages.
