-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 _______________________________________________________________________ Mandriva Linux Security Advisory MDVSA-2012:168 http://www.mandriva.com/security/ _______________________________________________________________________ Package : hostapd Date : October 22, 2012 Affected: 2011. _______________________________________________________________________ Problem Description: Multiple vulnerabilities has been discovered and corrected in hostapd: hostapd 0.7.3, and possibly other versions before 1.0, uses 0644 permissions for /etc/hostapd/hostapd.conf, which might allow local users to obtain sensitive information such as credentials (CVE-2012-2389). Heap-based buffer overflow in the eap_server_tls_process_fragment function in eap_server_tls_common.c in the EAP authentication server in hostapd 0.6 through 1.0 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash or abort) via a small TLS Message Length value in an EAP-TLS message with the More Fragments flag set (CVE-2012-4445). The updated packages have been patched to correct these issues. _______________________________________________________________________ References: http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2012-2389 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2012-4445 _______________________________________________________________________ Updated Packages: Mandriva Linux 2011: 8fa9981eaf73dd9e84b62b42e300211a 2011/i586/hostapd-0.7.3-2.3-mdv2011.0.i586.rpm 912f917c8f0d5c8d146d544f9099cc29 2011/SRPMS/hostapd-0.7.3-2.3.src.rpm Mandriva Linux 2011/X86_64: 4d692e59b6e55c1cc9292315fcc0570a 2011/x86_64/hostapd-0.7.3-2.3-mdv2011.0.x86_64.rpm 912f917c8f0d5c8d146d544f9099cc29 2011/SRPMS/hostapd-0.7.3-2.3.src.rpm _______________________________________________________________________ To upgrade automatically use MandrivaUpdate or urpmi.
