Debian 10218 Published by

A wpa security update has been released for Debian GNU/Linux 8 LTS to address an issue in EAP mode used a low quality pseudorandom number generator that leads to insufficient entropy.



Package : wpa
Version : 2.3-1+deb8u10
CVE ID : CVE-2019-10064

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.
