Re: [Wlug] Major WPA2 Vulnerability

by Theo Van Dinter

fwiw, my understanding is that the vulnerability is on the client side. therefore, I'm not sure what patches would get applied to an access point, though presumably if you use bridging (and maybe extension?) functionality then maybe there's an issue there. iow, I think patching access points isn't necessary or at least is a low priority if you're not using a feature that turns the device into a client. """ What if there are no security updates for my router? Our main attack is against the 4-way handshake, and does not exploit access points, but instead targets clients. So it might be that your router does not require security updates. We strongly advise you to contact your vendor for more details. In general though, you can try to mitigate attacks against routers and access points by disabling client functionality (which is for example used in repeater modes) and disabling 802.11r (fast roaming). For ordinary home users, your priority should be updating clients such as laptops and smartphones.

wpa_supplicant got an update pushed to the Arch repos at around 11AM too (if anybody else here uses Arch) On Oct 16, 2017 15:23, "Michael C Voorhis" <mvoorhis(a)cs.wpi.edu> wrote: Chuck Anderson writes: > Because none of Fedora's updates aren't actually released yet.

LEDE does a bunch of faster-paced development with the goal of having their work eventually merged back into OpenWRT. They often experiment with different ideas/features.

Hey Gang, If you haven't heard already, it appears someone has found a major flaw in WPA2! https://www.krackattacks.com/ Hopefully patches should be forth coming! Later, Tim. -- I am leery of the allegiances of any politician who refers to their constituents as "consumers".
