A buffer overflow flaw was found in the debugging code of Fedora’s version of wpa_supplicant. This can be triggered by those using NetworkManager.
It is recommended that users of wpa_supplicant or NetworkManager update to this package (and the accompanying wpa_supplicant packages) which removes the affected debug code.
Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Fedora security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.
