Description
This security bulletin contains information about 5 secuirty vulnerabilities.
1) Key management errors (CVE-ID: CVE-2017-13077)
The vulnerability allows an adjacent attacker to force a supplicant to reinstall a previously used pairwise key.The weakness exists in the processing of the 802.11i 4-way handshake messages of the WPA and WPA2 protocols due to ambiguities in the processing of associated protocol messages. An adjacent attacker can use man-in-the-middle techniques to retransmit previously used message exchanges between supplicant and authenticator.
2) Key management errors (CVE-ID: CVE-2017-13078)
The vulnerability allows an adjacent attacker to force a supplicant to reinstall a previously used group key.The weakness exists in the processing of the 802.11i 4-way handshake messages of the WPA and WPA2 protocols due to ambiguities in the processing of associated protocol messages. An adjacent attacker can use man-in-the-middle techniques to retransmit previously used message exchanges between supplicant and authenticator.
3) Key management errors (CVE-ID: CVE-2017-13079)
The vulnerability allows an adjacent attacker to force a supplicant to reinstall a previously used integrity group key.The weakness exists in the processing of the 802.11i 4-way handshake messages of the WPA and WPA2 protocols due to ambiguities in the processing of associated protocol messages. An adjacent attacker can use man-in-the-middle techniques to retransmit previously used message exchanges between supplicant and authenticator.
4) Key management errors (CVE-ID: CVE-2017-13080)
The vulnerability allows an adjacent attacker to force a supplicant to reinstall a previously used group key.The weakness exists in the processing of the 802.11i 4-way handshake messages of the WPA and WPA2 protocols due to ambiguities in the processing of associated protocol messages. An adjacent attacker can use man-in-the-middle techniques to retransmit previously used message exchanges between supplicant and authenticator.
The vulnerability is dubbed "KRACK" attack.
5) Key management errors (CVE-ID: CVE-2017-13081)
The vulnerability allows an adjacent attacker to force a supplicant to reinstall a previously used integrity group key.The weakness exists in the processing of the 802.11i 4-way handshake messages of the WPA and WPA2 protocols due to ambiguities in the processing of associated protocol messages. An adjacent attacker can use man-in-the-middle techniques to retransmit previously used message exchanges between supplicant and authenticator.
