Hostapd sends unencrypted Data Packets during EAP Handshake on an encrypted Network

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi,

I have a WPA2 Enterprise Network configured running hostapd 2.5 and I had a device do the EAP Handshake and in the middle of the Handshake there were 2 packets targeted to that device sent to the Access Point to be forwarded to the client (meaning its target IP/Mac was set to the clients IP/Mac). The packets were forwarded unencrypted on-air and it is visible in a wifi capture in clear text, even though this is a WPA2 Enterprise encrypted network. I think under no circumstances should any data packet be sent unencrypted, and that sending of the packets should either be delayed or the packets should be discarded at that point because the client is not currently fully connected.

Is this known? Has someone seen something similar? is this intended? Is this maybe fixed in a newer version (the changelog doesnt indicate that)?

If someone wants to look into this I can provide a packet capture of this showing the EAPOL Packets aswell as the unencrypted packets that just appeared during the Handshake.
