Debian DLA-2318-1 : wpa security update

high Nessus Plugin ID 139429

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security update.

Description

The following CVE(s) have been reported against src:wpa.

CVE-2019-10064

hostapd before 2.6, in EAP mode, makes calls to the rand() and random() standard library functions without any preceding srand() or srandom() call, which results in inappropriate use of deterministic values. This was fixed in conjunction with CVE-2016-10743.

CVE-2020-12695

The Open Connectivity Foundation UPnP specification before 2020-04-17 does not forbid the acceptance of a subscription request with a delivery URL on a different network segment than the fully qualified event-subscription URL, aka the CallStranger issue.

For Debian 9 stretch, these problems have been fixed in version 2:2.4-1+deb9u7.

We recommend that you upgrade your wpa packages.

For the detailed security status of wpa please refer to its security tracker page at: https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/wpa

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

Solution

Upgrade the affected packages.
