Vulnerability from fkie_nvd - Published: 2015-06-15 15:59 - Updated: 2026-06-17 00:26
Severity
Summary
Integer underflow in the WMM Action frame parser in hostapd 0.5.5 through 2.4 and wpa_supplicant 0.7.0 through 2.4, when used for AP mode MLME/SME functionality, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via a crafted frame, which triggers an out-of-bounds read.
