Status: ModifiedMedium (4.3)—
Severity4.3Medium · CVSS 3.0
Exploitation probability1.18 %higher than 67% of CVEs
Active exploitationNonot in the CISA catalog
Public exploitNot knownno public code found

The WNM Sleep Mode code in wpa_supplicant 2.x before 2.6 does not properly ignore key data in response frames when management frame protection (MFP) was not negotiated, which allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary broadcast or multicast packets or cause a denial of service (ignored packets) via a WNM Sleep Mode response.
