Many of the global configuration parameters are written as strings without filtering and if there is an embedded newline character in the value, unexpected configuration file data might be written. This fixes an issue where wpa_supplicant could have updated the configuration file global parameter with arbitrary data from the control interface or D-Bus interface. While those interfaces are supposed to be accessible only for trusted users/applications, it may be possible that an untrusted user has access to a management software component that does not validate the value of a parameter before passing it to wpa_supplicant. This could allow such an untrusted user to inject almost arbitrary data into the configuration file. Such configuration file could result in wpa_supplicant trying to load a library (e.g., opensc_engine_path, pkcs11_engine_path, pkcs11_module_path, load_dynamic_eap) from user controlled location when starting again. This would allow code from that library to be executed under the wpa_supplicant process privileges. Signed-off-by: Jouni Malinen <jouni@qca.qualcomm.com> |

wpa_supplicant and hostapd -------------------------- Copyright (c) 2002-2016, Jouni Malinen <j@w1.fi> and contributors All Rights Reserved. These programs are licensed under the BSD license (the one with advertisement clause removed). If you are submitting changes to the project, please see CONTRIBUTIONS file for more instructions. This package may include either wpa_supplicant, hostapd, or both. See README file respective subdirectories (wpa_supplicant/README or hostapd/README) for more details. Source code files were moved around in v0.6.x releases and compared to earlier releases, the programs are now built by first going to a subdirectory (wpa_supplicant or hostapd) and creating build configuration (.config) and running 'make' there (for Linux/BSD/cygwin builds).
