*** Bug 547490 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** it's a race, I've commited 2.4-r1 to fix this bug, but bug #524928 is also being fixed and stabilized. Which bug will we stabilize for first? 2.4-r1 is already stable. Going to cleanup and vote. GLSA Vote: No GLSA Vote: No (In reply to Kristian Fiskerstrand from comment #5) > GLSA Vote: No This vulnerability on its own does not merit a GLSA, however adding this together with the GLSA for bug 524928 CVE-2015-1863 (http://nvd.nist.gov/nvd.cfm?cvename=CVE-2015-1863): 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. Arches and Maintainer(s), Thank you for your work. This issue was resolved and addressed in GLSA 201606-17 at https://security.gentoo.org/glsa/201606-17 by GLSA coordinator Aaron Bauman (b-man). |
