+Subject: [PATCH 2/3] Reject SET_CRED commands with newline characters in the
+ string values
+
+Most of the cred block parameters are written as strings without
+filtering and if there is an embedded newline character in the value,
+unexpected configuration file data might be written.
+
+This fixes an issue where wpa_supplicant could have updated the
+configuration file cred parameter with arbitrary data from the control
+interface or D-Bus interface. While those interfaces are supposed to be
+accessible only for trusted users/applications, it may be possible that
+an untrusted user has access to a management software component that
+does not validate the credential value before passing it to
+wpa_supplicant.
+
+This could allow such an untrusted user to inject almost arbitrary data
+into the configuration file. Such configuration file could result in
+wpa_supplicant trying to load a library (e.g., opensc_engine_path,
+pkcs11_engine_path, pkcs11_module_path, load_dynamic_eap) from user
+controlled location when starting again. This would allow code from that
+library to be executed under the wpa_supplicant process privileges.
+
+Upstream-Status: Backport

+CVE: CVE-2016-4477
