Description:Summary:
The remote host is missing an update for the Debian 'wpa' package(s) announced via the DLA-2138-1 advisory.

Vulnerability Insight:
Similar to CVE-2016-10743 the host access point daemon, hostapd, in EAP mode used a low quality pseudorandom number generator that leads to insufficient entropy. The problem was resolved by using the os_get_random function which provides cryptographically strong pseudo random data.

For Debian 8 Jessie, this problem has been fixed in version 2.3-1+deb8u10.

We recommend that you upgrade your wpa packages.
