Name       : wpa_supplicant Product    : Fedora 7 Version    : 0.5.7 Release    : 3.fc7 Summary    : WPA/WPA2/IEEE 802.1X Supplicant Description : wpa_supplicant is a WPA Supplicant for Linux, BSD and Windows with support for WPA and WPA2 (IEEE 802.11i / RSN). Supplicant is the IEEE 802.1X/WPA component that is used in the client stations. It implements key negotiation with a WPA Authenticator and it controls the roaming and IEEE 802.11 authentication/association of the wlan driver.

Update Information:

A buffer overflow flaw was found in the debugging code of Fedora's version of wpa_supplicant. This can be triggered by those using NetworkManager.

It is recommended that users of wpa_supplicant or NetworkManager update to this package (and the accompanying NetworkManager packages) which removes the affected debug code.

ChangeLog:

- Fix buffer overflow by removing syslog patch (#rh242455)
 * Mon Jun 4 2007 Dan Williams - 0.5.7-3
