This update for wpa_supplicant provides the following fixes: This security issues was fixe: - 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 These non-security issues were fixed: - Fix reading private key passwords from the configuration file. - Enable PWD as EAP method. This allows for password-based authentication, which is easier to setup than most of the other methods, and is used by the Eduroam network. - compile eapol_test binary to allow testing via radius proxy and server , - Enabled timestamps in log file when being invoked by systemd service file . - Fixes the default file permissions of the debug log file to more sane values, i.e. it is no longer world-readable . - Open the debug log file with O_CLOEXEC, which will prevent file descriptor leaking to child processes .
