Peter, All,

On 2021-02-05 13:13 +0100, Peter Korsgaard spake thusly:
> Fixes the following security issue:
> 
>  - wpa_supplicant P2P group information processing vulnerability (no CVE yet)
> 
>    A vulnerability was discovered in how wpa_supplicant processing P2P
>    (Wi-Fi Direct) group information from active group owners.  The actual
>    parsing of that information validates field lengths appropriately, but
>    processing of the parsed information misses a length check when storing a
>    copy of the secondary device types.  This can result in writing attacker
>    controlled data into the peer entry after the area assigned for the
>    secondary device type.  The overflow can result in corrupting pointers
>    for heap allocations.  This can result in an attacker within radio range
>    of the device running P2P discovery being able to cause unexpected
>    behavior, including termination of the wpa_supplicant process and
>    potentially arbitrary code execution.

Applied to master, thanks.

(I just moved the _PATCH near _VERSION and _SITE to keep similar things
together)

Regards,
Yann E. MORIN.)
