FRAG ATTACK: Putting the pieces back together – Part 2

In our previous blog post on FRAG ATTACK, Ezurio discussed the threat of the vulnerability as disclosed by the Wi-Fi Alliance. In the weeks since, Ezurio has been working to understand the impact on our Wi-Fi products and establish a mitigation plan for impacted customers. Utilizing the Wi-Fi Alliance test suite, Ezurio has completed testing and can now provide a comprehensive list of impacted products.

The following list identifies the Ezurio products impacted by one or more of the listed CVEs in the FRAG ATTACK announcement. The status of the products was established by testing the latest release software version for each, using the Wi-Fi Alliance Test Suite at Ezurio's (formerly Laird Connectivity) advanced QA test facility.
