CVE-2023-52424

Publication date 17 May 2024

Last updated 13 November 2024

Ubuntu priority

Medium

Why this priority?

The IEEE 802.11 standard sometimes enables an adversary to trick a victim into connecting to an unintended or untrusted network with Home WEP, Home WPA3 SAE-loop. Enterprise 802.1X/EAP, Mesh AMPE, or FILS, aka an "SSID Confusion" issue. This occurs because the SSID is not always used to derive the pairwise master key or session keys, and because there is not a protected exchange of an SSID during a 4-way handshake.

Since this is a vulnerability in the 802.11 standard it is assumed that the wpa package in Ubuntu (which is an implementation of this standard) is affected but at this time 2024-11-13 there does not appear to be an official update available from the project which resolves this vulnerability.
