Package : iwd
CVE ID : CVE-2023-52161
Debian Bug : 1064062

It was discovered that iwd, the iNet Wireless Daemon, does not properly
handle messages in the 4-way handshake used when connecting to a
protected WiFi network for the first time. An attacker can take
advantage of this flaw to gain unauthorized access to a protected WiFi
network if iwd is operating in Access Point (AP) mode.

For the oldstable distribution (bullseye), this problem has been fixed
in version 1.14-3+deb11u1.

For the stable distribution (bookworm), this problem has been fixed in
version 2.3-1+deb12u1.

We recommend that you upgrade your iwd packages.
