All,
Most WiFi routers have WEP, WPA, and WPA2.
WPA2 was the most secure and the recommendation.
No longer:

But WPA2 comes in a couple variants. Does anyone know if any of them are unaffected?
Thanks Greg
I don't know, but I do know that SUSE are working on providing us fast updates for SLE (which Leap will get equally fast) and Tumbleweed
So this may be addressable on the client end? I hope so!
Greg
I believe for absolute safety it needs to be addressed at every end - which is pretty scary given how many Wi-Fi devices are out there (I just bought a new Mi-Fi at the weekend..&sigh&)
For us I know we have hostapd (for people using openSUSE as a wifi AP) and wpa_supplicant (for clients) patches in the works
As Richard writes, we will be releasing updates. FWIW, if you behave the same with your laptop and cellphone in your own wireless networks with WPA compared to Wireless internet cafes / hotels / trains that have unprotected wifi, then you don't need to panic anyway. SSL and VPN is usually to our rescue here. Ciao, Marcus -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
