+Subject: [PATCH] WPS: Reject a Credential with invalid passphrase
+
+WPA/WPA2-Personal passphrase is not allowed to include control
+characters. Reject a Credential received from a WPS Registrar both as
+STA (Credential) and AP (AP Settings) if the credential is for WPAPSK or
+WPA2PSK authentication type and includes an invalid passphrase.
+
+This fixes an issue where hostapd or wpa_supplicant could have updated
+the configuration file PSK/passphrase parameter with arbitrary data from
+an external device (Registrar) that may not be fully trusted. Should
+such data include a newline character, the resulting configuration file
+could become invalid and fail to be parsed.

+Subject: [PATCH] Reject psk parameter set with invalid passphrase character
+
+WPA/WPA2-Personal passphrase is not allowed to include control
+characters. Reject a passphrase configuration attempt if that passphrase
+includes an invalid passphrase.
+
+This fixes an issue where wpa_supplicant could have updated the
+configuration file psk 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 passphrase value before passing it to
+wpa_supplicant.
+
+This could allow such an untrusted user to inject up to 63 characters of
+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.

+Subject: [PATCH] Remove newlines from wpa_supplicant config network output
+
+Spurious newlines output while writing the config file can corrupt the
+wpa_supplicant configuration. Avoid writing these for the network block
+parameters. This is a generic filter that cover cases that may not have
+been explicitly addressed with a more specific commit to avoid control
+characters in the psk parameter.
