CVE-2019-5062

An exploitable denial-of-service vulnerability exists in the 802.11w security
state handling for hostapd 2.6 connected clients with valid 802.11w sessions. By
simulating an incomplete new association, an attacker can trigger a
deauthentication against stations using 802.11w, resulting in a denial of
service.

Specific to 2.6, so Leap 15.1 affected
