  (CVE-2012-2389).

  Heap-based buffer overflow in the eap_server_tls_process_fragment
  function in eap_server_tls_common.c in the EAP authentication server
  in hostapd 0.6 through 1.0 allows remote attackers to cause a denial
  of service (crash or abort) via a small TLS Message Length value in
  an EAP-TLS message with the More Fragments flag set (CVE-2012-4445).
