p2putil.c in iNet wireless daemon (IWD) through 2.15 allows attackers to cause a denial of service (daemon crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact because of initialization issues in situations where parsing of advertised service information fails.

The version of Tencent Linux installed on the remote TencentOS Server 4 host is prior to tested version. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the TSSA-2025:0365 advisory.

    Package updates are available for TencentOS Server 4 that fix the following vulnerabilities:

    CVE-2024-28084:
    p2putil.c in iNet wireless daemon (IWD) through 2.15 allows attackers to cause a denial of service (daemon     crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact because of initialization issues in situations where     parsing of advertised service information fails.

    CVE-2023-52161:
    The Access Point functionality in eapol_auth_key_handle in eapol.c in iNet wireless daemon (IWD) before     2.14 allows attackers to gain unauthorized access to a protected Wi-Fi network. An attacker can complete     the EAPOL handshake by skipping Msg2/4 and instead sending Msg4/4 with an all-zero key.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Tencent Linux security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

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