minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink0•edit-215 days agoThere’s a firmware update that fixes the vulnerability. Kinda moot as long as you do updates. EDIT: Seems you have to buy a new key for that, but the difficulty of executing the vulnerability means it probably doesn’t matter anyway.

Also requires $11k in gear and physical access to the key.
