    (CVE-2019-9494)

  - The implementations of EAP-PWD in hostapd and wpa_supplicant are vulnerable to side-channel attacks as a     result of cache access patterns. All versions of hostapd and wpa_supplicant with EAP-PWD support are     vulnerable. The ability to install and execute applications is necessary for a successful attack. Memory     access patterns are visible in a shared cache. Weak passwords may be cracked. Versions of     hostapd/wpa_supplicant 2.7 and newer, are not vulnerable to the timing attack described in CVE-2019-9494.
    Both hostapd with EAP-pwd support and wpa_supplicant with EAP-pwd support prior to and including version     2.7 are affected. (CVE-2019-9495)

  - The implementations of EAP-PWD in hostapd EAP Server and wpa_supplicant EAP Peer do not validate the     scalar and element values in EAP-pwd-Commit. This vulnerability may allow an attacker to complete EAP-PWD     authentication without knowing the password. However, unless the crypto library does not implement     additional checks for the EC point, the attacker will not be able to derive the session key or complete     the key exchange. Both hostapd with SAE support and wpa_supplicant with SAE support prior to and including     version 2.4 are affected. Both hostapd with EAP-pwd support and wpa_supplicant with EAP-pwd support prior     to and including version 2.7 are affected. (CVE-2019-9497)

  - The implementations of EAP-PWD in hostapd EAP Server, when built against a crypto library missing explicit     validation on imported elements, do not validate the scalar and element values in EAP-pwd-Commit. An     attacker may be able to use invalid scalar/element values to complete authentication, gaining session key     and network access without needing or learning the password. Both hostapd with SAE support and     wpa_supplicant with SAE support prior to and including version 2.4 are affected. Both hostapd with EAP-pwd     support and wpa_supplicant with EAP-pwd support prior to and including version 2.7 are affected.
    (CVE-2019-9498)

  - The implementations of EAP-PWD in wpa_supplicant EAP Peer, when built against a crypto library missing     explicit validation on imported elements, do not validate the scalar and element values in EAP-pwd-Commit.
    An attacker may complete authentication, session key and control of the data connection with a client.
    Both hostapd with SAE support and wpa_supplicant with SAE support prior to and including version 2.4 are     affected. Both hostapd with EAP-pwd support and wpa_supplicant with EAP-pwd support prior to and including     version 2.7 are affected. (CVE-2019-9499)

  - The implementations of SAE in hostapd before 2.10 and wpa_supplicant before 2.10 are vulnerable to side     channel attacks as a result of cache access patterns. NOTE: this issue exists because of an incomplete fix     for CVE-2019-9494. (CVE-2022-23303)

  - The implementations of EAP-pwd in hostapd before 2.10 and wpa_supplicant before 2.10 are vulnerable to     side-channel attacks as a result of cache access patterns. NOTE: this issue exists because of an     incomplete fix for CVE-2019-9495. (CVE-2022-23304)

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

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 6 host has one or more packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities that have been acknowledged by the vendor but will not be patched.

  - wpa_supplicant: P2P group information processing vulnerability (CVE-2021-0326)

  - wpa_supplicant: EAP-pwd side-channel attacks as a result of cache access patterns (CVE-2022-23304)

  - wpa_supplicant 0.4.0 through 2.5 does not reject \n and \r characters in passphrase parameters, which     allows local users to trigger arbitrary library loading and consequently gain privileges, or cause a     denial of service (daemon outage), via a crafted (1) SET, (2) SET_CRED, or (3) SET_NETWORK command.
    (CVE-2016-4477)

  - An issue was discovered in rsn_supp/wpa.c in wpa_supplicant 2.0 through 2.6. Under certain conditions, the     integrity of EAPOL-Key messages is not checked, leading to a decryption oracle. An attacker within range     of the Access Point and client can abuse the vulnerability to recover sensitive information.
    (CVE-2018-14526)

  - The implementations of SAE in hostapd before 2.10 and wpa_supplicant before 2.10 are vulnerable to side     channel attacks as a result of cache access patterns. NOTE: this issue exists because of an incomplete fix     for CVE-2019-9494. (CVE-2022-23303)

  - 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 these issues but has instead relied on the package manager's report that the package is installed.
