Title:
[indicators] [network] No Validation of Wi-Fi Key/Passphrases is
performed
Status in Network Menu:
Triaged
Status in Touch Preview Images:
Triaged
Status in “indicator-network” package in Ubuntu:
Triaged
Bug description:
The current network indicator does no checking of Wi-Fi key or
passphrases, and thus allows a user to enter an invalid key or
passphrase and initiate a connection attempt.
For access points using WEP, there are four valid key lengths:
* 5 ASCII characters or 10 hex characters
* 13 ASCII characters or 26 hex characters
For APs using WPA Personal/PSK, a valid passphrase can be between 8
and 63 characters in length. A full 256-bit key can be specified by
entering 64 hex characters.
Note, the chewie server should also probably do some validation as
well. It shouldn't be possible for a new network to be created with a
single character key ( see attached file ).
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open the network menu and select an access point known to be using WEP security
2. Enter a 1 character key
3. Click OK
Expected Result:
The user cannot initiate a connection with an invalid key.
Actual Result:
The auth dialog is dismissed and the user appears connected ( note,
this is another problem )
Build Details:
Manhattan/Maguro #160
chewie: 0.2.6~quantal1
indicators-client-plugin-network: 0.20~quantal1
