Updated hostapd & wpa_supplicant packages fix security vulnerability

Publication date: 04 Oct 2024
Modification date: 04 Oct 2024
Type: security
Affected Mageia releases : 9
CVE: CVE-2023-52424

Description

The IEEE 802.11 standard sometimes enables an adversary to trick a
victim into connecting to an unintended or untrusted network with Home
WEP, Home WPA3 SAE-loop. Enterprise 802.1X/EAP, Mesh AMPE, or FILS, aka
an "SSID Confusion" issue. This occurs because the SSID is not always
used to derive the pairwise master key or session keys, and because
there is not a protected exchange of an SSID during a 4-way handshake.
