Upstream has issued an advisory on January 16: https://w1.fi/security/2022-1/sae-eap-pwd-side-channel-attack-update-2.txt The issue is fixed upstream in 2.10. We are vulnerable because SAE is enabled in wpa_supplicant. It is not enabled in hostapd, and EAP_PWD is enabled in neither. Mageia 8 is also affected.

MGA8-64 Plasma on Lenovo B50 in Dutch No installation issues. Rebooted and wifi comes up OK. Somethinng struck me as a bit strange: the package has the gui (wpa_gui command) in /usr/bin, so accessible to a normal user. But when you run itas a normal user, all fiels (adapter, network...) are blank, and you cann't do absolutely nothing with it. Running the command as root is fine. But in all OK for me.

That does seem odd, but sounds as if it were somehow by design. Validating. Advisory in Comment 2.
