Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Cisco Aironet 3800 Series Access Points (affected versions not specified)

Description A vulnerability exists in the handling of 802.11w Protected Management Frames (PAF) that could allow an unauthenticated, adjacent attacker to terminate a valid user connection to an affected device, resulting in a Denial of Service. The issue arises because the affected device does not properly validate 802.11w PAF disassociation and deauthentication frames. An attacker could exploit this by sending a spoofed 802.11w PAF frame from a valid, authenticated client on an adjacent network. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to terminate a single valid user connection.

Recommendations At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
