** Description changed:

+ SRU Justification
+ 
+ Impact: Intel wireless firmware WoWLAN functionality is vulnerable to
+ some CVEs from the KRACK attack vulnerabilities, CVE-2017-13080 and
+ CVE-2017-13081.
+ 
+ Fix: Updated firmware from Intel containing fixes for these
+ vulnerabilities.
+ 
+ Test Case: Difficult to test; we are reliant on testing done by Intel.
+ 
+ Regression Potential: There is always some possibility for regressions
+ with firmware updates, but as these are bug fix updates the regression
+ potential is minimal. I have been using the 7260 firmware for over a
+ week now without issue.
