EulerOS 2.0 SP8 : wpa_supplicant (EulerOS-SA-2024-2495)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 207614

Synopsis

The remote EulerOS host is missing a security update.

Description

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

The implementation of PEAP in wpa_supplicant through 2.10 allows authentication bypass. For a successful attack, wpa_supplicant must be configured to not verify the network's TLS certificate during Phase 1 authentication, and an eap_peap_decrypt vulnerability can then be abused to skip Phase 2 authentication.
The attack vector is sending an EAP-TLV Success packet instead of starting Phase 2. This allows an adversary to impersonate Enterprise Wi-Fi networks.(CVE-2023-52160)

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the EulerOS wpa_supplicant security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Update the affected wpa_supplicant packages.
