The remote host is missing an update for the 'wpa' package(s) announced via the USN-2577-1 advisory. It was discovered that wpa_supplicant incorrectly handled SSID information when creating or updating P2P peer entries. A remote attacker could use this issue to cause wpa_supplicant to crash, resulting in a denial of service, expose memory contents, or possibly execute arbitrary code. Please install the updated package(s)
