CVE-2015-8041 describes multiple integer overflows in the NDEF record parser of hostapd and wpa_supplicant versions prior to 2.5. This vulnerability allows remote attackers to trigger a denial of service (process crash or infinite loop) through a large payload length field in WPS or P2P NFC NDEF records, leading to an out-of-bounds read. With a CVSS score of 5.0 (medium), it has a network attack vector, low attack complexity, no authentication required, and results in partial availability impact. There is no evidence of active exploitation, publicly available exploit code (Metasploit, Nuclei, ExploitDB), or significant community discussion or media coverage, indicating a low current threat level.
