EulerOS 2.0 SP8 : wpa_supplicant (EulerOS-SA-2019-2306)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 131372

Synopsis

The remote EulerOS host is missing a security update.

Description

According to the version of the wpa_supplicant package installed, the EulerOS installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerability :

 - hostapd before 2.10 and wpa_supplicant before 2.10 allow an incorrect indication of disconnection in certain situations because source address validation is mishandled. This is a denial of service that should have been prevented by PMF (aka management frame protection). The attacker must send a crafted 802.11 frame from a location that is within the 802.11 communications range.(CVE-2019-16275)

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the EulerOS security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

Solution

Update the affected wpa_supplicant package.
