Problem Description:
Potential side channel attacks in the SAE implementations used
by both hostapd and wpa_supplicant (see CVE-2019-9494 and VU#871675).
EAP-pwd uses a similar design for deriving PWE from the password and
while a specific attack against EAP-pwd is not yet known to be tested,
there is no reason to believe that the EAP-pwd implementation would
be immune against the type of cache attack that was identified for the
SAE implementation. Since the EAP-pwd implementation in hostapd (EAP
server) and wpa_supplicant (EAP peer) does not support MODP groups,
the timing attack described against SAE is not applicable for the
EAP-pwd implementation.
See
https://w1.fi/security/2019-2/eap-pwd-side-channel-attack.txt
for a detailed description of the bug.
Impact:
All wpa_supplicant and hostapd versions with EAP-pwd support
(CONFIG_EAP_PWD=y in the build configuration and EAP-pwd being enabled
in the runtime configuration).
