<define-tag description>LTS security update</define-tag>
<define-tag moreinfo>
<p>Similar to <a href="https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/CVE-2016-10743">CVE-2016-10743</a> 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.</p>

<p>For Debian 8 <q>Jessie</q>, this problem has been fixed in version
2.3-1+deb8u10.</p>

<p>We recommend that you upgrade your wpa packages.</p>

these updates to your system and frequently asked questions can be
