wpa-supplicant: Ignore CVE-2024-5290
NVD CVE report [1] links Ubuntu bug [2] which has a very good
description/discussion about this issue.
It applies only to distros patching wpa-supplicant to allow non-root
users (e.g. via netdev group) to load modules.
This is not the case of Yocto.
Quote:
So upstream isn't vulnerable as they only expose the dbus interface to
root. Downstreams like Ubuntu and Chromium added a patch that grants
access to the netdev group. The patch is the problem, not the upstream
code IMHO.
There is also a commit [3] associated with this CVE, however that only
provides build-time configuration to limit paths which can be accessed
but it acts only as a mitigation for distros which allow non-root users
to load crafted modules.
The patch is included in version 2.11, however NVD has this CVE
version-less, so explicit ignore is necessary.
