Category:	Slackware Local Security Checks
Title:	Slackware: Security Advisory (SSA:2024-059-01)
Summary:	The remote host is missing an update for the 'wpa_supplicant' package(s) announced via the SSA:2024-059-01 advisory.
Description:	Summary: The remote host is missing an update for the 'wpa_supplicant' package(s) announced via the SSA:2024-059-01 advisory. Vulnerability Insight: New wpa_supplicant packages are available for Slackware 15.0 and -current to fix a security issue. Here are the details from the Slackware 15.0 ChangeLog: +--------------------------+ patches/packages/wpa_supplicant-2.10-i586-2_slack15.0.txz: Rebuilt. Patched the implementation of PEAP in wpa_supplicant to prevent an 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. For more information, see: [link moved to references] (* Security fix *) +--------------------------+ Affected Software/OS: 'wpa_supplicant' package(s) on Slackware 15.0, Slackware current. 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
