   An update that fixes 6 vulnerabilities is now available.

Description:

   This update for wpa_supplicant fixes the following issues:

   - Several vulnerabilities in standard conforming implementations of the
     WPA2 protocol have been discovered and published under the code name
     KRACK. This update remedies those issues in a backwards compatible
     manner, i.e. the updated wpa_supplicant can interface properly with both
     vulnerable and patched implementations of WPA2, but an attacker won't be
     able to exploit the KRACK weaknesses in those connections anymore even
     if the other party is still vulnerable. [bsc#1056061, CVE-2017-13078,
     CVE-2017-13079, CVE-2017-13080, CVE-2017-13081, CVE-2017-13087,
     CVE-2017-13088]
