WPA2 Vulnerability Found

A small update with regards to the Microsoft fix. The fix itself is sufficient to solve the issue on Windows, even if your WiFi device has no driver update, with one caveat:

Does this security update fully address these vulnerabilities on Microsoft Platforms, or do I need to perform any additional steps to be fully protected?
The provided security updates address the reported vulnerabilities; however, when affected Windows based systems enter a connected standby mode in low power situations, the vulnerable functionality may be offloaded to installed Wi-Fi hardware. To fully address potential vulnerabilities, you are also encouraged to contact your Wi-Fi hardware vendor to obtain updated device drivers. For a listing of affected vendors with links to their documentation, review the ICASI Multi-Vendor Vulnerability Disclosure statement here: http://www.icasi.org/wi-fi-protected-access-wpa-vulnerabilities

611 Defects, 71 Vulnerabilities Found In Firefox

It's a good thing that list of vulnerabilities was given to the Firefox team as opposed to, say, a team of hackers *Laugh :laugh:.

 

Does NVIDIA Display Driver Service Make Your System Vulnerable?

So let me get this straight. For someone to exploit this vulnerability the following must be true:

• The attacker mush know the username and password of an active local user account on the machine.
• The firewall has to allow traffic in through whatever port the service is listening on.

You'd have to have a pretty shitty security setup already for this vulnerability to really affect you.
