- CVE-2015-4141: The WPS UPnP function in hostapd, when using WPS AP, and wpa_supplicant, when using WPS external registrar (ER), allowed remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via a negative chunk length, which triggered an out-of-bounds read or heap-based buffer overflow (bsc#930077).");
