[19.09] hostapd: apply patch for CVE-2019-16275

[mweinelt]

Motivation for this change

Backport of #85999

Unfortunately this CVE was only partially adressed for wpa_supplicant in 5596874. This adds the patch to the hostapd package as well.

AP mode PMF disconnection protection bypass

Published: September 11, 2019
Identifiers:
- CVE-2019-16275
Latest version available from: https://w1.fi/security/2019-7/

Vulnerability

hostapd (and wpa_supplicant when controlling AP mode) did not perform
sufficient source address validation for some received Management frames
and this could result in ending up sending a frame that caused
associated stations to incorrectly believe they were disconnected from
the network even if management frame protection (also known as PMF) was
negotiated for the association. This could be considered to be a denial
of service vulnerability since PMF is supposed to protect from this type
of issues. It should be noted that if PMF is not enabled, there would be
no protocol level protection against this type of denial service
attacks.

An attacker in radio range of the access point could inject a specially
constructed unauthenticated IEEE 802.11 frame to the access point to
cause associated stations to be disconnected and require a reconnection
to the network.

Vulnerable versions/configurations

All hostapd and wpa_supplicants versions with PMF support
(CONFIG_IEEE80211W=y) and a runtime configuration enabled AP mode with
PMF being enabled (optional or required). In addition, this would be
applicable only when using user space based MLME/SME in AP mode, i.e.,
when hostapd (or wpa_supplicant when controlling AP mode) would process
authentication and association management frames. This condition would
be applicable mainly with drivers that use mac80211.

Possible mitigation steps

- Merge the following commit to wpa_supplicant/hostapd and rebuild:

  AP: Silently ignore management frame from unexpected source address

  This patch is available from https://w1.fi/security/2019-7/

- Update to wpa_supplicant/hostapd v2.10 or newer, once available

Things done

• Tested using sandboxing (nix.useSandbox on NixOS, or option sandbox in nix.conf on non-NixOS linux)
• Built on platform(s)
  • NixOS
  • macOS
  • other Linux distributions
• Tested via one or more NixOS test(s) if existing and applicable for the change (look inside nixos/tests)
• Tested compilation of all pkgs that depend on this change using nix-shell -p nixpkgs-review --run "nixpkgs-review wip"
• Tested execution of all binary files (usually in ./result/bin/)
• Determined the impact on package closure size (by running nix path-info -S before and after)
• Ensured that relevant documentation is up to date
• Fits CONTRIBUTING.md.
