    Description:

    This update for wpa_supplicant fixes the security 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]
