802.1X Supplicant with support for WEP, WPA, WPA2 (IEEE 802.11i / RSN), and
various EAP authentication methods. They implement key negotiation with a WPA
Authenticator for client stations and controls the roaming and IEEE 802.11
authentication and association of the WLAN driver.
Security Fix(es):
* A new exploitation technique called key reinstallation attacks (KRACK)
affecting WPA2 has been discovered. A remote attacker within Wi-Fi range
could exploit these attacks to decrypt Wi-Fi traffic or possibly inject
forged Wi-Fi packets by manipulating cryptographic handshakes used by the
WPA2 protocol. (CVE-2017-13077, CVE-2017-13078, CVE-2017-13080,
CVE-2017-13082, CVE-2017-13086, CVE-2017-13087, CVE-2017-13088)
Red Hat would like to thank CERT for reporting these issues. Upstream
acknowledges Mathy Vanhoef (University of Leuven) as the original reporter
of these issues.");
