Thanks for referring to the security bug in dfly's base wpa_supplicant.
Yes, the base wpa_supplicant hasn't been updated for years, and its startup
script will print a warning suggesting that users should install the latest
wpa_supplicant from dports/packages.

Nevertheless, one developer may take time to upgrade the wpa_supplicant in
base.
