Security Bulletin
This security bulletin contains information about 6 vulnerabilities.
EUVDB-ID: #VU23964
Risk: High
CVSSv3.1: 7.1 [CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]
CVE-ID: CVE-2019-9499
CWE-ID:
CWE-264 - Permissions, Privileges, and Access Controls
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a remote attacker to escalate privileges on the system.
The vulnerability exists due to the implementations of EAP-PWD in wpa_supplicant EAP Peer, when built against a crypto library missing explicit validation on imported elements, do not validate the scalar and element values in EAP-pwd-Commit. A remote attacker can complete authentication, session key and control of the data connection with a client.
This vulnerability affects the following products:
Install updates from vendor's website.
Vulnerable software versionswpa_supplicant: 1.0 - 2.7
hostapd: 1.0 - 2.7

EUVDB-ID: #VU23962
Risk: High
CVSSv3.1: 8.5 [CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]
CVE-ID: CVE-2019-9497
CWE-ID:
CWE-287 - Improper Authentication
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a remote attacker to bypass authentication process.
The vulnerability exists due to the implementations of EAP-PWD in hostapd EAP Server and wpa_supplicant EAP Peer do not validate the scalar and element values in EAP-pwd-Commit. A remote attacker can complete EAP-PWD authentication without knowing the password and gain unauthorized access to the application.
However, unless the crypto library does not implement additional checks for the EC point, the attacker will not be able to derive the session key or complete the key exchange.
This vulnerability affects the following products:
Install updates from vendor's website.

EUVDB-ID: #VU23961
Risk: Medium
CVSSv3.1: 6.5 [CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]
CVE-ID: CVE-2019-9496
CWE-ID:
CWE-287 - Improper Authentication
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a remote attacker to bypass authentication process.
The vulnerability exists due to missing state validation steps when processing the
SAE confirm message when in hostapd/AP mode. A remote attacker can bypass authentication process, force the hostapd process to terminate and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack on the target system.
Install updates from vendor's website.

Risk: Low
CVSSv3.1: 3.2 [CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]
CVE-ID: CVE-2019-9495
CWE-ID:
CWE-327 - Use of a Broken or Risky Cryptographic Algorithm
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain access to sensitive information on the target system.
