Synopsis
========
A flaw was discovered in the 4-way handshake in hostapd and
wpa_supplicant that allows attackers to conduct a Man in the Middle
attack.

Background
==========
wpa_supplicant is a WPA Supplicant with support for WPA and WPA2 (IEEE
802.11i / RSN). hostapd is a user space daemon for access point and
authentication servers.

Affected packages
=================
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected
-------------------------------------------------------------------
1 net-wireless/hostapd < 2.6-r1 >= 2.6-r1
2 net-wireless/wpa_supplicant
< 2.6-r3 >= 2.6-r3
-------------------------------------------------------------------
2 affected packages

Description
===========
WiFi Protected Access (WPA and WPA2) and it's associated technologies
are all vulnerable to the KRACK attacks. Please review the referenced
CVE identifiers for details.

Impact
======
An attacker can carry out the KRACK attacks on a wireless network in
order to gain access to network clients. Once achieved, the attacker
can potentially harvest confidential information (e.g. HTTP/HTTPS),
inject malware, or perform a myriad of other attacks.

Workaround
==========
There is no known workaround at this time.

Resolution
==========
All hostapd users should upgrade to the latest version:

# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=net-wireless/hostapd-2.6-r1"

All wpa_supplicant users should upgrade to the latest version:

# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot -v ">=net-wireless/wpa_supplicant-2.6-r3"
