Test ID:	1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.1.10.2014.0429
Category:	Mageia Linux Local Security Checks
Title:	Mageia: Security Advisory (MGASA-2014-0429)
Summary:	The remote host is missing an update for the 'hostapd, wpa_supplicant' package(s) announced via the MGASA-2014-0429 advisory.
Description:	Summary: The remote host is missing an update for the 'hostapd, wpa_supplicant' package(s) announced via the MGASA-2014-0429 advisory. Vulnerability Insight: 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 Mageia wpa_supplicant package, systems are exposed to the vulnerability if operating as a WPS registrar. The Mageia hostapd package was not vulnerable with the configuration with which it was built, but if a sysadmin had rebuilt it with WPS enabled, it would be vulnerable. Affected Software/OS: 'hostapd, wpa_supplicant' package(s) on Mageia 3, Mageia 4. Solution: Please install the updated package(s). CVSS Score: 6.8 CVSS Vector: AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P
