An issue in wpa_supplicant all versions before v.2.12 allows a local attacker to bypass proper network context and AKMP matching for PMKSA caching via missing validation in the driver based PMKSA selection path in wpa.c
AnalysisAI
Missing origin validation in wpa_supplicant's driver-based PMKSA cache selection path allows a local low-privileged attacker to bypass network context and AKMP matching, forcing the supplicant to use a cached Pairwise Master Key Security Association from a mismatched network or authentication method. All wpa_supplicant versions prior to 2.12 are affected. …
