Description
The implementation of PEAP in wpa_supplicant through 2.10 allows authentication bypass. For a successful attack, wpa_supplicant must be configured to not verify the network's TLS certificate during Phase 1 authentication, and an eap_peap_decrypt vulnerability can then be abused to skip Phase 2 authentication. The attack vector is sending an EAP-TLV Success packet instead of starting Phase 2. This allows an adversary to impersonate Enterprise Wi-Fi networks.
Affected configurations
• debian debian linux 10.0
• fedoraproject fedora 38
• fedoraproject fedora 39
• redhat enterprise linux 8.0
• redhat enterprise linux 9.0
• w1.fi wpa supplicant (<= 2.10)
