CWE-119  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade Debian:10 wpa to version 2.3-2.2 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream wpa package and not the wpa package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:10 relevant fixed versions and status.

The WPS UPnP function in hostapd, when using WPS AP, and wpa_supplicant, when using WPS external registrar (ER), 0.7.0 through 2.4 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via a negative chunk length, which triggers an out-of-bounds read or heap-based buffer overflow.
