I. Background
Wi-Fi Protected Access II (WPA2) is a security protocol developed by the
Wi-Fi Alliance to secure wireless computer networks.
hostapd(8) and wpa_supplicant(8) are implementations of user space daemon for
access points and wireless client that implements the WPA2 protocol.
II. Problem Description
Multiple vulnerabilities exist in the hostapd(8) and wpa_supplicant(8)
implementations. For more details, please see the reference URLs in the
References section below.
III. Impact
Security of the wireless network may be compromised. For more details,
please see the reference URLS in the References section below.
IV. Workaround
No workaround is available, but systems not using hostapd(8) or
wpa_supplicant(8) are not affected.
V. Solution
Perform one of the following:
1) Upgrade your vulnerable system to a supported FreeBSD stable or
release / security branch (releng) dated after the correction date.
Afterwards, restart hostapd(8) or wpa_supplicant(8).
2) To update your vulnerable system via a binary patch:
Systems running a RELEASE version of FreeBSD on the i386 or amd64
platforms can be updated via the freebsd-update(8) utility:
# freebsd-update fetch
# freebsd-update install
Afterwards, restart hostapd(8) or wpa_supplicant(8).
3) To update your vulnerable system via a source code patch:
The following patches have been verified to apply to the applicable
FreeBSD release branches.
a) Download the relevant patch from the location below, and verify the
detached PGP signature using your PGP utility.
[FreeBSD 12.0]
# fetch https://security.FreeBSD.org/patches/SA-19:03/wpa-12.patch
# fetch https://security.FreeBSD.org/patches/SA-19:03/wpa-12.patch.asc
# gpg --verify wpa-12.patch.asc
[FreeBSD 11.2]
# fetch https://security.FreeBSD.org/patches/SA-19:03/wpa-11.patch
# fetch https://security.FreeBSD.org/patches/SA-19:03/wpa-11.patch.asc
# gpg --verify wpa-11.patch.asc
b) Apply the patch. Execute the following commands as root:
# cd /usr/src
# patch < /path/to/patch
c) Recompile the operating system using buildworld and installworld as
described in .
Restart the applicable daemons, or reboot the system.
VI. Correction details
