FreeBSD Security Advisory - The internal authentication server of hostapd does not sufficiently validate the message length field of EAP-TLS messages. A remote attacker could cause the hostapd daemon to abort by sending specially crafted EAP-TLS messages, resulting in a Denial of Service.
2e64da0ea32a2dac049fee64d2e2a83e329082a4961e1f7560ffefb7f8cc5160Mandriva Linux Security Advisory 2012-168 - hostapd 0.7.3, and possibly other versions before 1.0, uses 0644 permissions for /etc/hostapd/hostapd.conf, which might allow local users to obtain sensitive information such as credentials. Heap-based buffer overflow in the eap_server_tls_process_fragment function in eap_server_tls_common.c in the EAP authentication server in hostapd 0.6 through 1.0 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service via a small TLS Message Length value in an EAP-TLS message with the More Fragments flag set. The updated packages have been patched to correct these issues.

As a result, an internal overflow checking routine terminates the process. An attacker can abuse this flaw to conduct denial of service attacks via crafted EAP-TLS messages prior to any authentication.
