Description
This security bulletin contains information about 6 secuirty vulnerabilities.
1) Key management errors (CVE-ID: CVE-2017-13078)
The vulnerability allows an adjacent attacker to force a supplicant to reinstall a previously used group key.The weakness exists in the processing of the 802.11i 4-way handshake messages of the WPA and WPA2 protocols due to ambiguities in the processing of associated protocol messages. An adjacent attacker can use man-in-the-middle techniques to retransmit previously used message exchanges between supplicant and authenticator.
2) Key management errors (CVE-ID: CVE-2017-13079)
The vulnerability allows an adjacent attacker to force a supplicant to reinstall a previously used integrity group key.The weakness exists in the processing of the 802.11i 4-way handshake messages of the WPA and WPA2 protocols due to ambiguities in the processing of associated protocol messages. An adjacent attacker can use man-in-the-middle techniques to retransmit previously used message exchanges between supplicant and authenticator.
3) Key management errors (CVE-ID: CVE-2017-13080)
The vulnerability allows an adjacent attacker to force a supplicant to reinstall a previously used group key.The weakness exists in the processing of the 802.11i 4-way handshake messages of the WPA and WPA2 protocols due to ambiguities in the processing of associated protocol messages. An adjacent attacker can use man-in-the-middle techniques to retransmit previously used message exchanges between supplicant and authenticator.
The vulnerability is dubbed "KRACK" attack.
4) Key management errors (CVE-ID: CVE-2017-13081)
The vulnerability allows an adjacent attacker to force a supplicant to reinstall a previously used integrity group key.The weakness exists in the processing of the 802.11i 4-way handshake messages of the WPA and WPA2 protocols due to ambiguities in the processing of associated protocol messages. An adjacent attacker can use man-in-the-middle techniques to retransmit previously used message exchanges between supplicant and authenticator.
5) Key management errors (CVE-ID: CVE-2017-13087)
The vulnerability allows an adjacent attacker to force a supplicant that is compliant with the 802.11v standard to reinstall a previously used group key.The weakness exists in the processing of the 802.11v (Wireless Network Management) Sleep Mode Response frames due to ambiguities in the processing of associated protocol messages. An adjacent attacker can passively eavesdrop and retransmit previously used WNM Sleep Mode Response frames.
6) Key management errors (CVE-ID: CVE-2017-13088)
