WPA2 - KRACK / Vulnerability
Hi Netgear, I think this is really important and should be monitored closely and all the wifi users should ask the vendors to monitor an patch this. Looks like that WPA2 is about to be cracked and ...
NETGEAR is aware of the recently publicized security exploit KRACK, which takes advantage of security vulnerabilities in WPA2 (WiFi Protected Access II). NETGEAR has published fixes for multiple products and is working on fixes for others. Please follow the security advisory for updates.
NETGEAR appreciates having security concerns brought to our attention and are constantly monitoring our products to get in front of the latest threats. Being pro-active rather than re-active to emerging security issues is a fundamental belief at NETGEAR.
To protect users, NETGEAR does not publicly announce security vulnerabilities until fixes are publicly available, nor are the exact details of such vulnerabilities released. Once fixes are available, NETGEAR will announce the vulnerabilities from NETGEAR Product Security web page.
Hello Netgear,
Please advise status of patching for crackattacks exploit. I turned the router radios off to mitigate but this is not a long term solution. Firmware V1.0.3.54_1.1.37.
Thanks,
Jarmo
According to this -- https://www.kb.cert.org/vuls/id/228519 -- Netgear was notified of the issue on August 28, along with just about everybody else except for a few firms that got the news in September. Since then, Netgear has offered two firmware updates for the WNDR3400 line, the last (1.0.1.14) on October 4. It is possible the fix is already in, but if so why is Netgear holding its silence rather than reassuring its millions of users?
