  <impact type="normal">
    <p>An attacker can carry out the KRACK attacks on a wireless network in
      order to gain access to network clients. Once achieved, the attacker can
      potentially harvest confidential information (e.g. HTTP/HTTPS), inject
      malware, or perform a myriad of other attacks.
    </p>
  </impact>
  <workaround>
    <p>There is no known workaround at this time.</p>
  </workaround>
  <resolution>
    <p>All hostapd users should upgrade to the latest version:</p>
    
    <code>
      # emerge --sync
      # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=net-wireless/hostapd-2.6-r1"
    </code>
    
    <p>All wpa_supplicant users should upgrade to the latest version:</p>
    
    <code>
      # emerge --sync
      # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose
      "&gt;=net-wireless/wpa_supplicant-2.6-r3"
