Fragmented Frame Key Mismatch Vulnerability

CVE-2020-24587 · LOW Severity

CVSS:3.1/AV:A/AC:H/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N

The 802.11 standard that underpins Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA, WPA2, and WPA3) and Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) doesn't require that all fragments of a frame are encrypted under the same key. An adversary can abuse this to decrypt selected fragments when another device sends fragmented frames and the WEP, CCMP, or GCMP encryption key is periodically renewed.
