Advisories MDKSA-2006:189: Updated xsupplicant fixes possible remote root stack smash vulnerability
Yannick Van Osselaer discovered a stack overflow in Xsupplicant, which
could potentially be exploited by a remote, authenticated user to gain
root priviledges. Additional code cleanups to fix potential memory
leaks are also included.

Updated packages have been patched to correct this issue.
