Technical details
A heap buffer overflow in the secure-dot1xd process allows unauthenticated attackers on adjacent network segments to execute arbitrary code with root privileges or crash the daemon via a specially crafted EAPOL (Extensible Authentication Protocol over LANs) frame sent to an 802.1X-enabled interface. The vulnerability requires no prior authentication but does require network adjacency to reach the vulnerable interface. Successful exploitation grants complete control of the affected network device.
