Vulnerability from github – Published: 2022-05-24 19:01 – Updated: 2026-04-14 09:30
VLAI?
Details

The 802.11 standard that underpins Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA, WPA2, and WPA3) and Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) doesn't require that the A-MSDU flag in the plaintext QoS header field is authenticated. Against devices that support receiving non-SSP A-MSDU frames (which is mandatory as part of 802.11n), an adversary can abuse this to inject arbitrary network packets.

Severity ?
3.5 (Low)
CVSS:3.1/AV:A/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:N
