Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions: Samsung Galaxy Gear series versions prior to build RE2

Description: The issue concerns the wpa supplicant system service, which lacks D-Bus security policy configurations. This allows an unprivileged process to fully control the Wi-Fi interface. The problem affects Tizen-based firmwares.

Recommendations: For versions prior to build RE2, update the firmware to build RE2 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the wpa supplicant system service to minimize the risk of exploitation.
