Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.891922
Category:Debian Local Security Checks
Title:Debian: Security Advisory (DLA-1922-1)
Summary:The remote host is missing an update for the Debian 'wpa' package(s) announced via the DLA-1922-1 advisory.
Description:Summary:
The remote host is missing an update for the Debian 'wpa' package(s) announced via the DLA-1922-1 advisory.

Vulnerability Insight:
hostapd (and wpa_supplicant when controlling AP mode) did not perform sufficient source address validation for some received Management frames and this could result in ending up sending a frame that caused associated stations to incorrectly believe they were disconnected from the network even if management frame protection (also known as PMF) was negotiated for the association. This could be considered to be a denial of service vulnerability since PMF is supposed to protect from this type of issues.

For Debian 8 Jessie, this problem has been fixed in version 2.3-1+deb8u9.

We recommend that you upgrade your wpa packages.
