Detail

A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives:

- Ubuntu 14.10 - Ubuntu 14.04 LTS

Summary:

Software Description: - wpa: client support for WPA and WPA2

Details:

It was discovered that wpa_supplicant incorrectly handled SSID information when creating or updating P2P peer entries. A remote attacker could use this issue to cause wpa_supplicant to crash, resulting in a denial of service, expose memory contents, or possibly execute arbitrary code.
