This is good.

Any indication which devices are known to be affected? None of the pages I've read so far give that information. Though it could be that this information is subject to "responsible disclosure" and won't be released until manufacturers have had a reasonable amount of time to release patches.
- walterbell 6y agoAll devices are affected, that's why there was a 9-month embargo for Linux. Some vendor devices were silently patched during that period.
- dspillett 6y agoAll devices are affected by the base flaw as that is part of the protocol as set out from the start. But if you read the article and others, particularly around the bit I quoted, it essentially states that there are extra, avoidable, flaws in specific devices (or families of devices).
