Framing Frames: Bypassing Wi-Fi Encryption by Manipulating Transmit Queues
Summary: Researchers from Northeastern University and KU Leuven have discovered a method to bypass Wi-Fi encryption by manipulating transmit queues. By exploiting power-save features, they tricked access points into leaking frames in plaintext or encrypted using weak keys. The attacks affect various devices and operating systems, including Linux, FreeBSD, iOS, and Android. The researchers attribute their findings to a lack of guidance in managing security contexts of buffered frames in the 802.11 standards and call for transparency in handling security context across network stack layers.
