hostapd before 2.6, in EAP mode, makes calls to the rand() and random() standard library functions without any preceding srand() or srandom() call, which results in inappropriate use of deterministic values. This was fixed in conjunction with CVE-2016-10743.

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied patch available.

CVE-2019-10064

CVE-2020-12695

The Open Connectivity Foundation UPnP specification before 2020-04-17 does not forbid the acceptance of a subscription request with a delivery URL on a different network segment than the fully qualified event-subscription URL, aka the CallStranger issue.

For Debian 9 stretch, these problems have been fixed in version 2:2.4-1+deb9u7.

Similar to CVE-2016-10743 the host access point daemon, hostapd, in EAP mode used a low quality pseudorandom number generator that leads to insufficient entropy. The problem was resolved by using the os_get_random function which provides cryptographically strong pseudo random data.

For Debian 8 'Jessie', this problem has been fixed in version 2.3-1+deb8u10.

We recommend that you upgrade your wpa packages.
