Discussion

wpa_supplicant TSF-Reporting Drivers Stack Based Buffer Overflow Vulnerability

The 'wpa_supplicant' program is prone to a stack-based buffer-overflow vulnerability because it fails to perform adequate boundary checks on user-supplied data.

Successfully exploiting this issue may allow attackers to execute arbitrary machine code in the context of the affected application, but this has not been confirmed. Failed exploit attempts may trigger crashes, denying service to legitimate users.

This issue affects wpa_supplicant 0.6.0; other versions may also be affected.
