Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.1.10.2024.0053
Category:Mageia Linux Local Security Checks
Title:Mageia: Security Advisory (MGASA-2024-0053)
Summary:The remote host is missing an update for the 'wpa_supplicant' package(s) announced via the MGASA-2024-0053 advisory.
Description:Summary:
The remote host is missing an update for the 'wpa_supplicant' package(s) announced via the MGASA-2024-0053 advisory.

Vulnerability Insight:
The updated packages fix a security vulnerability:
The implementation of PEAP in wpa_supplicant through 2.10 allows
authentication bypass. For a successful attack, wpa_supplicant must be
configured to not verify the network's TLS certificate during Phase 1
authentication, and an eap_peap_decrypt vulnerability can then be abused
to skip Phase 2 authentication. The attack vector is sending an EAP-TLV
Success packet instead of starting Phase 2. This allows an adversary to
impersonate Enterprise Wi-Fi networks.
(CVE-2023-52160)

Affected Software/OS:
'wpa_supplicant' package(s) on Mageia 9.

Solution:
Please install the updated package(s).

CVSS Score:
7.8

CVSS Vector:
AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:C/I:N/A:N
