DESCRIPTION:
Two vulnerabilities have been reported in Aruba Mobility Controller,
which can be exploited by malicious people to cause a DoS (Denial of
Service) and bypass certain security restrictions.

1) An error when processing 802.11 packets can be exploited to cause
a crash via a specially crafted wireless probe request frame.

2) An error in the EAP-TLS Dot1X termination component can be
exploited to bypass authentication and gain access to a wireless
network.

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability requires EAP-TLS Dot1X
termination to be configured for a WLAN (not a default
configuration).

Please see the vendor's advisory for a list of affected versions.

SOLUTION:
Apply patches (please see the vendor's advisory for details).

PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY:
Reported by the vendor.
