This update for wpa_supplicant fixes the following issues:
This security issue was fixed:
- CVE-2018-14526: Under certain conditions, the integrity of EAPOL-Key
messages was not checked, leading to a decryption oracle. An attacker
within range of the Access Point and client could have abused the
vulnerability to recover sensitive information (bsc#1104205).
This non-security issue was fixed:
- Enabled PWD as EAP method. This allows for password-based
authentication, which is easier to setup than most of the other methods,
and is used by the Eduroam network (bsc#1109209).
