Detail
| Updated wpa_supplicant packages fix security vulnerability: A vulnerability was found in the mechanism wpa_cli and hostapd_cli use for executing action scripts. An unsanitized string received from a remote device can be passed to a system() call resulting in arbitrary command execution under the privileges of the wpa_cli/hostapd_cli process (which may be root in common use cases) (CVE-2014-3686). Using the wpa_supplicant package, systems are exposed to the vulnerability if operating as a WPS registrar. |

| Title: | DSA-3052-1 wpa - security update | ||
| Description: | Jouni Malinen discovered an input sanitization issue in the wpa_cli and hostapd_cli tools included in the wpa package. A remote wifi system within range could provide a crafted string triggering arbitrary code execution running with privileges of the affected wpa_cli or hostapd_cli process. | ||

| Title: | USN-2383-1 -- wpa_supplicant vulnerability | ||
| Description: | Jouni Malinen discovered that the wpa_cli tool incorrectly sanitized strings when being used with action scripts. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to execute arbitrary commands. | ||

| Title: | RHSA-2014:1956 -- wpa_supplicant security update (Moderate) | ||
| Description: | The wpa_supplicant package contains an 802.1X Supplicant with support for WEP, WPA, WPA2 (IEEE 802.11i / RSN), and various EAP authentication methods. It implements key negotiation with a WPA Authenticator for client stations and controls the roaming and IEEE 802.11 authentication and association of the WLAN driver. A command injection flaw was found in the way the wpa_cli utility executed action scripts. If wpa_cli was run in daemon mode to execute an action script (specified using the -a command line option), and wpa_supplicant was configured to connect to a P2P group, malicious P2P group parameters could cause wpa_cli to execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2014-3686) Red Hat would like to thank Jouni Malinen for reporting this issue. All wpa_supplicant users are advised to upgrade to this updated package, which contains a backported patch to correct this issue. | ||
