Two vulnerabilities were found in the WPA protocol implementation found in wpa_supplication (station) and hostapd (access point).

  • CVE-2019-13377 A timing-based side-channel attack against WPA3’s Dragonfly handshake when using Brainpool curves could be used by an attacker to retrieve the password.

  • CVE-2019-16275 Insufficient source address validation for some received Management frames in hostapd could lead to a denial of service for stations associated to an access point. An attacker in radio range of the access point could inject a specially constructed unauthenticated IEEE 802.11 frame to the access point to cause associated stations to be disconnected and require a reconnection to the network.
