   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).

     authentication, which is easier to setup than most of the other methods,
