Synopsis

The remote openSUSE host is missing a security update.

Description

This update for hostapd fixes the following issues :

- Fix KRACK attacks on the AP side (boo#1063479, CVE-2017-13078, CVE-2017-13079, CVE-2017-13080, CVE-2017-13081, CVE-2017-13087, CVE-2017-13088) :

Hostap was updated to upstream release 2.6

- fixed EAP-pwd last fragment validation [http://w1.fi/security/2015-7/] (CVE-2015-5314)

- fixed WPS configuration update vulnerability with malformed passphrase [http://w1.fi/security/2016-1/] (CVE-2016-4476)

- extended channel switch support for VHT bandwidth changes

- added support for configuring new ANQP-elements with anqp_elem=<InfoID>:<hexdump of payload>

- fixed Suite B 192-bit AKM to use proper PMK length (note: this makes old releases incompatible with the fixed behavior)

- added no_probe_resp_if_max_sta=1 parameter to disable Probe Response frame sending for not-associated STAs if max_num_sta limit has been reached

- added option (-S as command line argument) to request all interfaces to be started at the same time

- modified rts_threshold and fragm_threshold configuration parameters to allow -1 to be used to disable RTS/fragmentation

- EAP-pwd: added support for Brainpool Elliptic Curves (with OpenSSL 1.0.2 and newer)

- fixed EAPOL reauthentication after FT protocol run

- fixed FTIE generation for 4-way handshake after FT protocol run

- minimal support for PKCS #12

- support OCSP stapling (including ocsp_multi)

- added support for OpenSSL 1.1 API changes

- drop support for OpenSSL 0.9.8

- update full message for interim accounting updates

- add Acct-Delay-Time into Accounting messages

- add require_message_authenticator configuration option to require CoA/Disconnect-Request packets to be authenticated

- started to postpone WNM-Notification frame sending by 100 ms so that the STA has some more time to configure the key before this frame is received after the 4-way handshake

- VHT: added interoperability workaround for 80+80 and 160 MHz channels

- extended VLAN support (per-STA vif, etc.)

- fixed PMKID derivation with SAE

- nl80211

- added support for full station state operations

- fix IEEE 802.1X/WEP EAP reauthentication and rekeying to use unencrypted EAPOL frames

- added initial functionality for location related operations

- added assocresp_elements parameter to allow vendor specific elements to be added into (Re)Association Response frames

- improved Public Action frame addressing

- use Address 3 = wildcard BSSID in GAS response if a query from an unassociated STA used that address

- fix TX status processing for Address 3 = wildcard BSSID

- add gas_address3 configuration parameter to control Address 3 behavior

- added command line parameter -i to override interface parameter in hostapd.conf

- added command completion support to hostapd_cli

- added passive client taxonomy determination (CONFIG_TAXONOMY=y compile option and 'SIGNATURE <addr>' control interface command)

- number of small fixes

hostapd was updated to upstream release 2.5
