Killhippie Posted May 12, 2021 Share Posted May 12, 2021 I was just wondering if the R2 has been patched against the Frag attack? see below. Looks nasty but is to exploit as well, thankfully I'm patched. A dozen Wi-Fi design and implementation flaws make it possible for miscreants to steal transmitted data and bypass firewalls to attack devices on home networks, according to security researcher Mathy Vanhoef. On Tuesday, Vanhoef, a postdoctoral researcher in computer security at New York University Abu Dhabi, released a paper titled, "Fragment and Forge: Breaking Wi-Fi Through Frame Aggregation and Fragmentation" Scheduled to be presented later this year at the Usenix Security conference, the paper describes a set of wireless networking vulnerabilities, including three Wi-Fi design flaws and nine implementation flaws. Vanhoef, who in 2017 along with co-author Frank Piessens identified key reinstallation attacks (KRACKs) on the WPA2 protocol (used to secure Wi-Fi communication), has dubbed his latest research project FragAttacks, which stands for fragmentation and aggregation attacks. https://www.theregister.com/2021/05/12/krack_hack_wifi/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted May 12, 2021 Administrators Share Posted May 12, 2021 We're double checking with the developers at the moment, once we have a definitive answer we'll post back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
