Important SUSE Security Patch resolves various vulnerabilities in wpa_supplicant to enhance network security.
An update that fixes 6 vulnerabilities is now available

Summary

This update for wpa_supplicant fixes the following 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.
