Summary:
Researchers Mathy Vanhoef and Frank Piessens, from the University of Leuven, identified a series of vulnerabilities that affect the Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) and Wi-Fi Protected Access II (WPA2) standards.
Description:
These vulnerabilities are protocol-level vulnerabilities that affect a number of industry implementations of the standard in wireless infrastructure devices and wireless clients. The paper is available through the following link: https://papers.mathyvanhoef.com/ccs2017.pdf
An attacker within range of an affected wireless access point (AP) and client may leverage these vulnerabilities to conduct attacks using susceptible data confidentiality protocols.
The following Common Vulnerability and Exposure (CVE) identifiers have been assigned to each of these vulnerabilities:
CVE-2017-13077 reinstallation of the pairwise key in the 4-way handshake
CVE-2017-13078 reinstallation of the group key in the 4-way handshake
CVE-2017-13079 reinstallation of the integrity group key in the 4-way handshake
CVE-2017-13080 reinstallation of the group key in the group key handshake
CVE-2017-13081 reinstallation of the integrity group key in the group key handshake
CVE-2017-13082 Accepting a retransmitted FT Re-association Request and reinstalling the pairwise key while processing it
CVE-2017-13084 reinstallation of the STK key in the PeerKey handshake
CVE-2017-13086 Reinstallation of the Tunneled Direct-Link Setup (TDLS) PeerKey (TPK) key in the TDLS handshake
CVE-2017-13087 Reinstallation of the group key (GTK) when processing a Wireless Network Management (WNM) Sleep Mode Response frame
CVE-2017-13088 Reinstallation of the integrity group key (IGTK) when processing a Wireless Network Management (WNM) Sleep Mode Response frame
These vulnerabilities can be grouped into two categories: those that affect wireless endpoints acting as a “supplicant” and those that affect wireless infrastructure devices acting as "authenticators". Successful exploitation of these vulnerabilities could, depending on the specific device configuration, allow unauthenticated attackers to perform packet replays, decrypt wireless packets, and potentially forge or inject packets into a wireless network. The attacks manipulate retransmissions of handshake messages.

* For Intel® Active Management Technology, there is no planned Intel® Manageability Engine firmware update for versions 2.x-7.x because those versions are no longer supported.
For WIND™ (Wind River) Products, please visit this page
For the following Intel® Centrino® Wireless adapters there is no planned software update because those products were end-of-life’d in 2014 and 2015. Disabling the Wake-on-Wireless-LAN functionality (WoWLAN), is a reasonable mitigation against CVE-2017-13080 and CVE-2017-13081. For more information about disabling WoWLAN, please see this support page.
Intel® Centrino® Wireless adapters not listed have an end-of-Life date earlier than 2014. The mitigation described above has not been validated with the adapters end-of-Life’d earlier than 2014.
Recommendations:
Intel highly recommends that customers adopt the updates that include the mitigations for the relevant CVE IDs referenced above.
