Please Install the Updated Packages.

Multiple vulnerabilities has been discovered and corrected in hostapd: hostapd 0.7.3, and possibly other versions before 1.0, uses 0644 permissions for /etc/hostapd/hostapd.conf, which might allow local users to obtain sensitive information such as credentials (CVE-2012-2389). Heap-based buffer overflow in the eap_server_tls_process_fragment function in eap_server_tls_common.c in the EAP authentication server in hostapd 0.6 through 1.0 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash or abort) via a small TLS Message Length value in an EAP-TLS message with the More Fragments flag set (CVE-2012-4445). The updated packages have been patched to correct these issues.
