Subject: [PATCH] AP WMM: Fix integer underflow in WMM Action frame parser
|
||||
|
||||
The length of the WMM Action frame was not properly validated and the
|
||||
length of the information elements (int left) could end up being
|
||||
negative. This would result in reading significantly past the stack
|
||||
buffer while parsing the IEs in ieee802_11_parse_elems() and while doing
|
||||
so, resulting in segmentation fault.
|
||||
|
||||
This can result in an invalid frame being used for a denial of service
|
||||
attack (hostapd process killed) against an AP with a driver that uses
|
||||
hostapd for management frame processing (e.g., all mac80211-based
|
||||
drivers).
|
||||
|
||||
Thanks to Kostya Kortchinsky of Google security team for discovering and
|
||||
reporting this issue.
