This sounds serious: http://w1.fi/security/2015-1/wpa_supplicant-p2p-ssid-overflow.txt p2p use flag is disabled by default in Gentoo, this will probably protect most users. There's a patch: http://w1.fi/security/2015-1/0001-P2P-Validate-SSID-element-length-before-copying-it-C.patch Not sure if they'll produce a new release soon.
*** 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
(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.
