There are ten WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access) and WPA2 protocol vulnerabilities in some Huawei products: 
Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA and WPA2) allows reinstallation of the Pairwise Transient Key (PTK) Temporal Key (TK) during the four-way handshake, allowing an attacker within radio range to replay, decrypt, or spoof frames. (Vulnerability ID: HWPSIRT-2017-08025)
This vulnerability has been assigned a CVE ID: CVE-2017-13077.

WPA and WPA2 allows reinstallation of the Group Temporal Key (GTK) during the four-way handshake, allowing an attacker within radio range to replay frames from access points to clients. (Vulnerability ID: HWPSIRT-2017-08252)
This vulnerability has been assigned a CVE ID: CVE-2017-13078.

WPA and WPA2 that supports IEEE 802.11w allows reinstallation of the Integrity Group Temporal Key (IGTK) during the four-way handshake, allowing an attacker within radio range to spoof frames from access points to clients. (Vulnerability ID: HWPSIRT-2017-08253)
This vulnerability has been assigned a CVE ID: CVE-2017-13079.

WPA and WPA2 allows reinstallation of the Group Temporal Key (GTK) during the group key handshake, allowing an attacker within radio range to replay frames from access points to clients. (Vulnerability ID: HWPSIRT-2017-08254)
This vulnerability has been assigned a CVE ID: CVE-2017-13080.

WPA and WPA2 that supports IEEE 802.11w allows reinstallation of the Integrity Group Temporal Key (IGTK) during the group key handshake, allowing an attacker within radio range to spoof frames from access points to clients. (Vulnerability ID: HWPSIRT-2017-08255)
This vulnerability has been assigned a CVE ID: CVE-2017-13081.

WPA and WPA2 that supports IEEE 802.11r allows reinstallation of the Pairwise Transient Key (PTK) Temporal Key (TK) during the fast BSS transmission (FT) handshake, allowing an attacker within radio range to replay, decrypt, or spoof frames. (Vulnerability ID: HWPSIRT-2017-08256)
This vulnerability has been assigned a CVE ID: CVE-2017-13082.

WPA and WPA2 allows reinstallation of the Station-To-Station-Link (STSL) Transient Key (STK) during the PeerKey handshake, allowing an attacker within radio range to replay, decrypt, or spoof frames. (Vulnerability ID: HWPSIRT-2017-08257)
This vulnerability has been assigned a CVE ID: CVE-2017-13084.

WPA and WPA2 allows reinstallation of the Tunneled Direct-Link Setup (TDLS) Peer Key (TPK) during the TDLS handshake, allowing an attacker within radio range to replay, decrypt, or spoof frames. (Vulnerability ID: HWPSIRT-2017-08258)
This vulnerability has been assigned a CVE ID: CVE-2017-13086.

WPA and WPA2 that support 802.11v allows reinstallation of the Group Temporal Key (GTK) when processing a Wireless Network Management (WNM) Sleep Mode Response frame, allowing an attacker within radio range to replay frames from access points to clients. (Vulnerability ID: HWPSIRT-2017-08259)
This vulnerability has been assigned a CVE ID: CVE-2017-13087.

WPA and WPA2 that support 802.11v allows reinstallation of the Integrity Group Temporal Key (IGTK) when processing a Wireless Network Management (WNM) Sleep Mode Response frame, allowing an attacker within radio range to replay frames from access points to clients. (Vulnerability ID: HWPSIRT-2017-08260)
This vulnerability has been assigned a CVE ID: CVE-2017-13088.
