A buffer overflow flaw was found in the P2P (Wi-Fi Direct) support of wpa_supplicant. This flaw allows an attacker within radio range of the vulnerable system to send a specially crafted management frame that triggers a P2P peer device information to be created or updated, leading to the crashing of the wpa_supplicant process or arbitrary code execution. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to confidentiality, integrity, as well as system availability.
