Anybody knows if there is a fix available for krack wpa2 wifi bug.
Thanks
It was fixed on 16 October: https://review.lineageos.org/#/q/topic:krack-n+%28statuspen+OR+status:merged%29
Verizon just posted that
Software Version: MMB29M.N910VVRU2CQL1
Android® Security Patch Level: 2017-08-01, including Blueborne and Krack security patches
The current software update gives you the most up to date Android security patches on your device.
( See https://www.verizonwireless.com/support/samsung-galaxy-note-4-update/ )
Hopefully we will soon receive the Meltdown and Spectre security patches. Wouldn't it be nice if Verizon/Samsung would post an ETA for these kinds of critical security patches.?

So all over tech news today is the recently discovered vulnerabilty of android devices with Qualcomm chips. I downloaded the app that checks for these vulnerabilities and the links to each bug is below. There is very little that users on stock roms can do about this other than wait for Sony to release an updated version of their ROM. I expect fixes to be incorporated into OmniRom, CyanogenMod, Paranoid Android and other custom roms as and when the Open Devices team merge them in.

Lol the latest ROM is merely on the May 1st Security patch, I don't think they'll ever incorporate these patches in.
These are all kernel patches so they should be easy to patch into a custom kernel
The Sony concept team is very fast with updates and security patches. So maybe Concept-Rom users don't have to wait too long for a patch?
Just don't install random **** from the Internet and you're set. Same goes for Windows devices.
There, just saved you thousands of IT budget.
This was mentioned in the "S7 Active Thread", but I think it deserves its own thread as it appears to be a nice update.
August update for S7 Active -
from the AT&T notes - adds WiFi calling, Advanced Messaging Services (?) and Other Enhancements (?)

Noticed a "Display Scaling" option not sure if it was there before (I use Nova Launcher so I tweak icons that way)

Sorry didn't see the other post on this already - mods feel free to move this under the other thread.
Where can download?
Hey, just wanted to inform you all I just downloaded and installed the newest update for K350n.
Update's label is V10i and notable changes are:
- KRACK wifi exploit patched;
- Bluetooth blueborne exploit patched;
- Google Duo included as a system app.
That's what I've noted so far for these few hours, at least. Security patches date is 06.11.2017 which is obvious because of the included KRACK patch.

Don't know why but that's par for the course on their updates, don't expect anything different. ? I just wish I'd get the update. I have two identical Tab A's and one got the update over a week ago and the other is still waiting.
