AlmaLinux 9.2 [TuxCare] Security Update: wpa_supplicant (ALMALINUX9.2:CLSA-2025:1753802388)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 352014

Synopsis

The AlmaLinux host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

The AlmaLinux 9.2 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the TuxCare ALMALINUX9.2:CLSA-2025:1753802388 advisory.

 - The implementation of PEAP in wpa_supplicant through 2.10 allows authentication bypass. For a successful attack, wpa_supplicant must be configured to not verify the network's TLS certificate during Phase 1 authentication, and an eap_peap_decrypt vulnerability can then be abused to skip Phase 2 authentication.
 The attack vector is sending an EAP-TLV Success packet instead of starting Phase 2. This allows an adversary to impersonate Enterprise Wi-Fi networks. (CVE-2023-52160)

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

Solution

Update the affected wpa_supplicant package based on the guidance in TuxCare advisory ALMALINUX9.2:CLSA-2025:1753802388.
