[OpenWrt-Devel] [PATCH 19.07 1/2] hostapd: Fix security problem in EAP-pwd

Hauke Mehrtens hauke at hauke-m.de
Sun Sep 8 18:31:46 EDT 2019


This fixes:
CVE-2019-11555 "EAP-pwd message reassembly issue with unexpected fragment"
https://w1.fi/security/2019-5/eap-pwd-message-reassembly-issue-with-unexpected-fragment.txt

This should not affect OpenWrt in the default settings as we do not use
EAP-pwd.

+Subject: [PATCH 1/3] EAP-pwd server: Fix reassembly buffer handling
+
+data->inbuf allocation might fail and if that were to happen, the next
+fragment in the exchange could have resulted in NULL pointer
+dereference. Unexpected fragment with more bit might also be able to
+trigger this. Fix that by explicitly checking for data->inbuf to be
+available before using it.
