+	<h1>Problem Description:</h1>
+	<p>Potential side channel attacks in the SAE implementations used
+	by both hostapd and wpa_supplicant (see CVE-2019-9494 and VU#871675).
+	EAP-pwd uses a similar design for deriving PWE from the password and
+	while a specific attack against EAP-pwd is not yet known to be tested,
+	there is no reason to believe that the EAP-pwd implementation would
+	be immune against the type of cache attack that was identified for the
+	SAE implementation. Since the EAP-pwd implementation in hostapd (EAP
+	server) and wpa_supplicant (EAP peer) does not support MODP groups,
+	the timing attack described against SAE is not applicable for the
+	EAP-pwd implementation.</p>
+	<p>See
+	https://w1.fi/security/2019-2/eap-pwd-side-channel-attack.txt
+	for a detailed description of the bug.</p>
+	<h1>Impact:</h1>
+	<p>All wpa_supplicant and hostapd versions with EAP-pwd support
+	(CONFIG_EAP_PWD=y in the build configuration and EAP-pwd being enabled
+	in the runtime configuration).</p>
