Multiple integer overflows in the NDEF record parser in hostapd before 2.5 and wpa_supplicant before 2.5 allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (process crash or infinite loop) via a large payload length field value in an (1) WPS or (2) P2P NFC NDEF record, which triggers an out-of-bounds read.

CVE-2015-8041 hostapd and wpa_supplicant: Incomplete WPS and P2P NFC NDEF record payload length validation
Quoting from the hostapd/wpa_supplicant 2015-5 advisory:
A vulnerability was found in NDEF record parsing implementation in
hostapd and wpa_supplicant. This code is used when an NFC Tag or NFC
connection handover is used to trigger WPS or P2P operations. The parser
did include bounds checking for the NDEF record payload length, but due
to insufficient integer size, it was possible to trigger integer
overflow that would result in bypassing the validation step with some
malformed NDEF records.
This could result in denial of service due to hostapd/wpa_supplicant
process termination (buffer read overflow) or infinite loop. The issue
can be triggered only if the NFC stack on the device
