- ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Debian Security Advisory DSA-5739-1 [email protected] https://www.debian.org/security/ Salvatore Bonaccorso August 06, 2024 https://www.debian.org/security/faq
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------
Package : wpa CVE ID : CVE-2024-5290
Rory McNamara reported a local privilege escalation in wpasupplicant: A user able to escalate to the netdev group can load arbitrary shared object files in the context of the wpa_supplicant process running as root.
For the oldstable distribution (bullseye), this problem has been fixed in version 2:2.9.0-21+deb11u2.
For the stable distribution (bookworm), this problem has been fixed in version 2:2.10-12+deb12u2.
We recommend that you upgrade your wpa packages.
For the detailed security status of wpa please refer to its security tracker page at:
https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/wpa
