Debian LTS: DLA-4123-1 Moderate: wpa Security Risks Addressed

Multiple vulnerabilities were found in wpa, a set of tools including the widely-used wpasupplicant client for authenticating with WPA and WPA2 wireless networks. . - ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Debian LTS Advisory DLA-4123-1 This email address is being protected from spambots.

CVE-2022-23303 The implementations of SAE in hostapd are vulnerable to side channel attacks as a result of cache access patterns. CVE-2022-23304 The implementations of EAP-pwd are vulnerable to side-channel attacks as a result of cache access patterns. CVE-2022-37660 The PKEX code remains active even after a successful PKEX association. An attacker that successfully bootstrapped public keys with another entity using PKEX in the past, will be able to subvert a future bootstrapping by passively observing public keys. For Debian 11 bullseye, these problems have been fixed in version 2:2.9.0-21+deb11u3. We recommend that you upgrade your wpa packages.

For an attack to have been successful, wpasupplicant must have been configured to not verify the network's TLS certificate during Phase 1 of the authentication cycle; a eap_peap_decrypt vulnerability could have been used to skip Phase 2 authentication by sending an EAP-TLV "Success" packet instead of starting Phase 2. For Debian 10 buster, this problem has been fixed in version 2:2.7+git20190128+0c1e29f-6+deb10u4. We recommend that you upgrade your wpa packages.
