CVE-2019-9495

The implementations of EAP-PWD in hostapd and wpa_supplicant are vulnerable to side-channel attacks as a result of cache access patterns. All versions of hostapd and wpa_supplicant with EAP-PWD support are vulnerable. The ability to install and execute applications is necessary for a successful attack. Memory access patterns are visible in a shared cache. Weak passwords may be cracked. Versions of hostapd/wpa_supplicant 2.7 and newer, are not vulnerable to the timing attack described in CVE-2019-9494. Both hostapd with EAP-pwd support and wpa_supplicant with EAP-pwd support prior to and including version 2.7 are affected.

Las implementaciones de EAP-PWD en hostapd y wpa_supplicant son vulnerables a los ataques de canal lateral (side-channel) como resultado de los patrones de acceso a la caché. Todas las versiones de hostapd y wpa_supplicant con soporte de EAP-PWD son vulnerables. La capacidad de instalar y ejecutar aplicaciones es necesaria para un ataque con exito. Los patrones de acceso a memoria son visibles en caché compartido. Las contraseñas débiles pueden ser crackeadas. Las versiones de hostapd/wpa_supplicant versión 2.7 y posteriores, no son vulnerables al ataque de tiempo descrito en CVE-2019-9494. Tanto hostapd con soporte EAP-pwd como wpa_supplicant con soporte EAP-pwd anterior y con la versión 2.7 están afectados.
