Red Hat Security Advisory 2014-1956-01

Red Hat Security Advisory 2014-1956-01 – 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.
