As other pointed out, there is just not enough information available. Hopefully soon somebody can make the paper available to the rest of us?
What bothers me most however is what the authors seem to recommend as additional security measures (per http://www.securityweek.com/researchers-outline-how-crack-wpa2-security http://www.securityweek.com/researchers-outline-how-crack-wp...): MAC ACLs and Hidden SSIDs. I don't think I need to point out here how ridiculous these 'security' measures are, especially in light of the nature of the alleged weakness and how one would need to exploit it.
That doesn't really lend a lot of credibility to the paper's / this link's title.
Also, it looks like that without rainbow tables, the PSK cannot be cracked in a meaningful timespan? They compared the 'captured' hash (?) against a dictionary to determine their success, but again, I might be extrapolating too much from too little information.
