Security Bulletin

This security bulletin contains information about 2 vulnerabilities.

1) Use of a broken or risky cryptographic algorithm

EUVDB-ID: #VU59839

Risk: Low

CVSSv4.0: 1.7 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:P/PR:N/UI:N/VC:L/VI:L/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear]

CVE-ID: CVE-2022-23303

CWE-ID: CWE-327 - Use of a Broken or Risky Cryptographic Algorithm

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain access to sensitive information on the target system.

The vulnerability exists due to the implementations of SAE are vulnerable to side-channel attacks as a result of cache access patterns. A remote attacker with ability to install and execute applications can crack weak passwords when memory access patterns are visible in a shared cache.

Note, this vulnerability exists due to incomplete fix for #VU23959 (CVE-2019-9494).

Mitigation

Update the affected package wpa_supplicant to the latest version.
