CVE-2015-1863 wpa_supplicant vulnerability
Title: wpa_supplicant vulnerability
Summary: wpa_supplicant could be made to crash, expose memory, or run programs if it
received specially crafted network traffic.
It was discovered that wpa_supplicant incorrectly handled SSID information
when creating or updating P2P peer entries. A remote attacker could use
this issue to cause wpa_supplicant to crash, resulting in a denial of
service, expose memory contents, or possibly execute arbitrary code.
Instructions: After a standard system update you need to reboot your computer to make
all the necessary changes.

CVE-2015-1863 [MEDIUM] CWE-20 wpa_supplicant: P2P SSID processing vulnerability
wpa_supplicant: P2P SSID processing vulnerability
Heap-based buffer overflow in wpa_supplicant 1.0 through 2.4 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash), read memory, or possibly execute arbitrary code via crafted SSID information in a management frame when creating or updating P2P entries.
A buffer overflow flaw was found in the way wpa_supplicant handled SSID information in the Wi-Fi Direct / P2P management frames. A specially crafted frame could allow an attacker within Wi-Fi radio range to cause wpa_supplicant to crash or, possibly, execute arbitrary code.
Statement: This issue did not affect the wpa_supplicant versions as shipped with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 and 6.
Package: wpa_supplicant (Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5) - Not affected

CVE-2015-1863 [MEDIUM] CVE-2015-1863 wpa_supplicant: P2P SSID processing vulnerability
CVE-2015-1863 wpa_supplicant: P2P SSID processing vulnerability
A vulnerability in P2P functionality in wpa_supplicant has been discovered.
A vulnerability was found in how wpa_supplicant uses SSID information
parsed from management frames that create or update P2P peer entries
(e.g., Probe Response frame or number of P2P Public Action frames). SSID
field has valid length range of 0-32 octets. However, it is transmitted
in an element that has a 8-bit length field and potential maximum
payload length of 255 octets. wpa_supplicant was not sufficiently
verifying the payload length on one of the code paths using the SSID
received from a peer device.
This can result in copying arbitrary data from an attacker to a fixed
length buffer of 32 bytes (i.e., a possible overflow of up to 223
bytes).
