| Problem Description |
Yannick Van Osselaer discovered a stack overflow in Xsupplicant, which
could potentially be exploited by a remote, authenticated user to gain
root priviledges. Additional code cleanups to fix potential memory
leaks are also included.
Updated packages have been patched to correct this issue.
