An updated wpa_supplicant package that fixes one security issue is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7. Red Hat Product Security has rated this update as having Moderate security impact. A Common Vulnerability Scoring System base score, which gives a detailed severity rating, is available from the CVE link in the References section. The wpa_supplicant package contains an 802.1X Supplicant with support for WEP, WPA, WPA2 , and various EAP authentication methods. It implements key negotiation with a WPA Authenticator for client stations and controls the roaming and IEEE 802.11 authentication and association of the WLAN driver. 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 , and wpa_supplicant was configured to connect to a P2P group, malicious P2P group parameters could cause wpa_cli to execute arbitrary code. Red Hat would like to thank Jouni Malinen for reporting this issue. All wpa_supplicant users are advised to upgrade to this updated package, which contains a backported patch to correct this issue.
