Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.891733
Category:Debian Local Security Checks
Title:Debian: Security Advisory (DLA-1733-1)
Summary:The remote host is missing an update for the Debian 'wpa' package(s) announced via the DLA-1733-1 advisory.
Description:Summary:
The remote host is missing an update for the Debian 'wpa' package(s) announced via the DLA-1733-1 advisory.

Vulnerability Insight:
It was found that the fallback mechanism for generating a WPS pin in hostapd, an IEEE 802.11 AP and IEEE 802.1X/WPA/WPA2/EAP Authenticator, used a low quality pseudorandom number generator. This was resolved by using only the high quality os_get_random function.

For Debian 8 Jessie, this problem has been fixed in version 2.3-1+deb8u7.

We recommend that you upgrade your wpa packages.
