Categoría:	Mageia Linux Local Security Checks
Título:	Mageia: Security Advisory (MGASA-2016-0199)
Resumen:	The remote host is missing an update for the 'wpa_supplicant' package(s) announced via the MGASA-2016-0199 advisory.
Descripción:	Summary: The remote host is missing an update for the 'wpa_supplicant' package(s) announced via the MGASA-2016-0199 advisory. Vulnerability Insight: Updated wpa_suppliant packages fix security vulnerabilities: A vulnerability was found in how wpa_supplicant writes the configuration file update for the WPA/WPA2 passphrase parameter. If this parameter has been updated to include control characters either through a WPS operation (CVE-2016-4476) or through local configuration change over the wpa_supplicant control interface (CVE-2016-4477), the resulting configuration file may prevent the wpa_supplicant from starting when the updated file is used. In addition, it may be possible to load a local library file and execute code from there with the same privileges under which the wpa_supplicant process runs. Affected Software/OS: 'wpa_supplicant' package(s) on Mageia 5. Solution: Please install the updated package(s). CVSS Score: 5.0 CVSS Vector: AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:N/I:N/A:P
