Clients need patching. That's where the problem really lies, most android phones wont be updated in a timely fashion. IoT devices, thermostats, smoke alarms, doorbells etc will all be affected and have the same issue.

Staying away from public wifi is a good idea too.

Hah, my phone is too old have the technically correct / pants-down vulnerable version. Score one for security through obsolescence. Dance!

Having taken a look, this is fairly bad, but if you're sending unencrypted traffic (or connecting to sites that allow a downgrade), then you're already vulnerable to Amber Rudd snooping on you anyway.

sudo apt-get upgrade all-the-internet-of-things though. There's a new version of wpasupplicant on Debian descendants at least.

Yes and No Paddy. It would be but they've already patched their Unifi kit. I imagine they've sorted AirMAX. Check for an update.

EDIT: It's golden, check here get the update and rest easy https://help.ubnt.com/hc/en-us/articles/115013737328-Ubiquiti-Devices-KRACK-Vulnerability#4

AirMax has been pretty sorted against this since v8.4.0 for AC and v6.0.7 for M.

Gah edit before reply committed!
