Debian DLA-260-1 : hostapd security update

A vulnerability was found in WMM Action frame processing in a case where hostapd is used to implement AP mode MLME/SME functionality (i.e., Host AP driver of a mac80211-based driver on Linux).

This vulnerability can be used to perform denial of service attacks by an attacker that is within radio range of the AP that uses hostapd for MLME/SME operations.

For Debian 6 ‘Squeeze’, this vulnerability has been fixed in version 1:0.6.10-2+squeeze2 of hostapd. We recommend that you upgrade your hostapd package.

NOTE: Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the DLA security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.
