WPA2 Wi-Fi Vulnerability KRACK

[Valtam]

As has been mentioned, this has been patched already. Run Install Updates now.

After Install Updates, open a terminal:

Code:

apt policy wpasupplicant

should return:

Code:

  Installed: 2.4-0ubuntu6.2
  Candidate: 2.4-0ubuntu6.2

If you have 'hostapd' installed too, do:

Code:

apt policy hostapd

should return:

Code:

  Installed: 1:2.4-0ubuntu6.2
  Candidate: 1:2.4-0ubuntu6.2

we do not supply hostapd in Linux Lite. You would of had to have installed this yourself at some point.

Now we just have to wait for our:

    Mobile phones
    Tablets and e-readers that use Wi-Fi
    Home and office routers
    Home devices like NEST, Amazon Echo and Google Home
    Printers, both home and office, that use Wi-Fi
    Any other device that uses Wi-Fi

manufacturers to release patches too.

If you are 'super tinfoil' about this, use a 3G/4G connection until your device manufacturer has patched your other device/s and watch your browser address bar, make sure there is https where it should be!
