Vulnerability
A vulnerability was discovered in how wpa_supplicant processes P2P
(Wi-Fi Direct) provision discovery requests. Under a corner case
condition, an invalid Provision Discovery Request frame could end up
reaching a state where the oldest peer entry needs to be removed. With
a suitably constructed invalid frame, this could result in use
(read+write) of freed memory. This can result in an attacker within
radio range of the device running P2P discovery being able to cause
unexpected behavior, including termination of the wpa_supplicant process
and potentially code execution.
Vulnerable versions/configurations
wpa_supplicant v1.0-v2.9 with CONFIG_P2P build option enabled
An attacker (or a system controlled by the attacker) needs to be within
radio range of the vulnerable system to send a set of suitably
constructed management frames that trigger the corner case to be reached
in the management of the P2P peer table.
Note: FreeBSD base does not enable P2P.
