Mandriva Linux Security Advisory MDVSA-2015:120
http://www.mandriva.com/en/support/security/
_______________________________________________________________________
Package : wpa_supplicant
Date : March 29, 2015
Affected: Business Server 2.0
_______________________________________________________________________
Problem Description:
Updated wpa_supplicant and hostapd packages fix security vulnerability:
A vulnerability was found in the mechanism wpa_cli and hostapd_cli use
for executing action scripts. An unsanitized string received from a
remote device can be passed to a system() call resulting in arbitrary
command execution under the privileges of the wpa_cli/hostapd_cli
process (which may be root in common use cases) (CVE-2014-3686).
Using the Mandriva wpa_supplicant package, systems are exposed to
the vulnerability if operating as a WPS registrar.
