medium Nessus Plugin ID 105063

Language:

Synopsis

The remote FreeBSD host is missing one or more security-related updates.

Description

A vulnerability was found in how a number of implementations can be triggered to reconfigure WPA/WPA2/RSN keys (TK, GTK, or IGTK) by replaying a specific frame that is used to manage the keys. Impact :
Such reinstallation of the encryption key can result in two different types of vulnerabilities: disabling replay protection and significantly reducing the security of encryption to the point of allowing frames to be decrypted or some parts of the keys to be determined by an attacker depending on which cipher is used.

Solution

Update the affected packages.
