openSUSE Leap 42.3 & 42.2: 2017:2755-1 Important: WPA2 KRACK Fix

opensuse
Calendar Grey October 18, 2017
Dist Opensuse Esm H88
Crucial enhancement released for Fedora's wpa_supplicant tackling severe vulnerabilities affecting WPA2 encryption.
An update that fixes 6 vulnerabilities is now available

Description

This update for wpa_supplicant fixes the security issues:

- Several vulnerabilities in standard conforming implementations of the

WPA2 protocol have been discovered and published under the code name

KRACK. This update remedies those issues in a backwards compatible

manner, i.e. the updated wpa_supplicant can interface properly with both

vulnerable and patched implementations of WPA2, but an attacker won't be

able to exploit the KRACK weaknesses in those connections anymore even

if the other party is still vulnerable. [bsc#1056061, CVE-2017-13078,

CVE-2017-13079, CVE-2017-13080, CVE-2017-13081, CVE-2017-13087,

CVE-2017-13088]

This update was imported from the SUSE:SLE-12:Update update project.
