NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream wpasupplicant package and not the wpasupplicant package as distributed by Ubuntu.

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.
