Bug description:
SRU Justification
Impact: Intel wireless firmware WoWLAN functionality is vulnerable to
some CVEs from the KRACK attack vulnerabilities, CVE-2017-13080 and
CVE-2017-13081.
Fix: Updated firmware from Intel containing fixes for these
vulnerabilities.
Test Case: Difficult to test; we are reliant on testing done by Intel.
Regression Potential: There is always some possibility for regressions
with firmware updates, but as these are bug fix updates the regression
potential is minimal. I have been using the 7260 firmware for over a
week now without issue.
