An issue has been found in wpa, a set of tools to support WPA and WPA2
(IEEE 802.11i).
Missing validation of data can result in a buffer over-write, which might
lead to a DoS of the wpa_supplicant process or potentially arbitrary code
execution.

On request, together with this upload support for WPA-EAP-SUITE-B(-192)
