Security Bulletin

This security bulletin contains information about 10 vulnerabilities.

1) Key management errors

EUVDB-ID: #VU8837

Risk: High

CVSSv3.1: 9.1 [CVSS:3.1/AV:A/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H/E:P/RL:U/RC:C]

CVE-ID: CVE-2017-13077

CWE-ID: CWE-320 - Key Management Errors

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows an adjacent attacker to force a supplicant to reinstall a previously used pairwise key.

The weakness exists in the processing of the 802.11i 4-way handshake messages of the WPA and WPA2 protocols due to ambiguities in the processing of associated protocol messages. An adjacent attacker can use man-in-the-middle techniques to retransmit previously used message exchanges between supplicant and authenticator.

Mitigation

Update the affected packages.
net-wireless/hostapd to version: 2.6-r1
