CVE-2014-3686 wpa_supplicant vulnerability
Title: wpa_supplicant vulnerability
Summary: wpa_supplicant could be made to run programs if it received specially
crafted network traffic.
Jouni Malinen discovered that the wpa_cli tool incorrectly sanitized
strings when being used with action scripts. A remote attacker could
possibly use this issue to execute arbitrary commands.
Instructions: After a standard system update you need to reboot your computer to make all
the necessary changes.

CVE-2014-3686 [MEDIUM] CWE-78 hostapd: wpa_cli and hostapd_cli remote command execution issue
hostapd: wpa_cli and hostapd_cli remote command execution issue
wpa_supplicant and hostapd 0.7.2 through 2.2, when running with certain configurations and using wpa_cli or hostapd_cli with action scripts, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands via a crafted frame.
A command injection flaw was found in the way the wpa_cli utility executed action scripts. If wpa_cli was run in daemon mode to execute an action script (specified using the -a command line option), and wpa_supplicant was configured to connect to a P2P group, malicious P2P group parameters could cause wpa_cli to execute arbitrary code.
Statement: This issue did not affect the versions of wpa_supplicant as shipped with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 and 6.

CVE-2014-3686 wpa_supplicant and hostapd: wpa_cli and hostapd_cli remote command execution issue
Jouni Malinen discovered that a string supplied from a remote device could be supplied to a system() call in wpa_cli or hostapd_cli when running an action script (with the "-a" option), resulting in arbitrary command execution. This issue could also be triggered by an attacker within radio range.
Patches are available from the following:
http://w1.fi/security/2014-1/
Based on the information about affected configurations in the upstream advisory, Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 is likely to be not vulnerable, but Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 and 7 are likely to be vulnerable.
Acknowledgements:
Red Hat would like to thank Jouni Malinen for reporting this issue.
