Thanks for referring to the security bug in dfly's base wpa_supplicant.<br>
Yes, the base wpa_supplicant hasn't been updated for years, and its startup<br>
script will print a warning suggesting that users should install the latest<br>
wpa_supplicant from dports/packages.<br>
<br>
Nevertheless, one developer may take time to upgrade the wpa_supplicant in<br>
base.<br>
<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
