Patch for Krack Vulnerability

A paper presented in October 2018 by those that discovered the original KRACK 2016 vulnerability discloses that previous patches are both at least in part ineffective and that attacks are far easier to successfully perpetuate than originally thought. https://papers.mathyvanhoef.com/ccs2018.pdf. At least one package, wpa_supplicant up to version 2.6, IS vulnerable to KRACK. The most recent version of wpa_supplicant is 2.7, was released December 2nd 2018, but I am not certain that this version is patched for the latest KRACK exploits. But any firmware released before December 2nd 2018 definitely DOES NOT counter KRACK. Your firmware date is 10/17/2018. So no, your firmware is not patched for KRACK. Will start a new thread on this if anyone is interested or curious as to how NETGEAR responds, if it does, to what I'll call KRACK 2018.
