   4 Subject: [PATCH 3/3] hostapd_cli: Use os_exec() for action script execution
   5
   6 Use os_exec() to run the action script operations to avoid undesired
   7 command line processing for control interface event strings. Previously,
   8 it could have been possible for some of the event strings to include
   9 unsanitized data which is not suitable for system() use. (CVE-2014-3686)
