  script_tag(name:"insight", value:"Timo Warns discovered that the internal authentication server of hostapd, a user space IEEE 802.11 AP and IEEE 802.1X/WPA/WPA2/EAP Authenticator, is vulnerable to a buffer overflow when processing fragmented EAP-TLS messages. As a result, an internal overflow checking routine terminates the process. An attacker can abuse this flaw to conduct denial of service attacks via crafted EAP-TLS messages prior to any authentication.

For the stable distribution (squeeze), this problem has been fixed in version 1:0.6.10-2+squeeze1.

For the testing (wheezy) and unstable (sid) distributions, this problem will be fixed soon.

We recommend that you upgrade your hostapd packages.");
