New vulnerability affects virtually all WiFi devices

A new exploit can allow attackers to read Wi-Fi traffic between devices and wireless access points, and even modify it to inject malware into websites. It's said to affect 41% of Android phones, though this vulnerability affects almost any platform which uses WPA or WPA2 WiFi security, including Windows, iOS, Linux, and MacOS.

Hopefully OEMs are quick about developing and distributing security patches.

How would they go about fixing this? This is pretty serious.
