Synopsis: Moderate: wpa_supplicant security update
Advisory ID: SLSA-2014:1956-1
Issue Date: 2014-12-03
CVE Numbers: CVE-2014-3686
--

A command injection flaw was found in the way the wpa_cli utility executed
action scripts. If wpa_cli was run in daemon mode to execute an action
script (specified using the -a command line option), and wpa_supplicant
was configured to connect to a P2P group, malicious P2P group parameterscould cause wpa_cli to execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2014-3686)
