It was discovered that wpa_supplicant and hostapd incorrectly handled
unexpected fragments when using EAP-pwd. A remote attacker could
possibly use this issue to cause a denial of service.

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding
description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory. Tenable
has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible
without introducing additional issues.
