Mathy Vanhoef who you might know for co-discovering the widespread wifi KRACK attack back in 2017 dubbed this new collection of vulnerabilities “fragmentation and aggregation attacks,” or FragAttacks for short. In a nutshell, these are a collection of 12 different vulnerabilities that could potentially leak user information or attack a given device, if probed by a bad actor within wifi range. Per Vanhoef’s explanation on the dedicated FragAttacks site he set up, nine of these flaws stem from programming hiccups in specific wifi products, and the other three are due to-baked in bugs in the wifi standard itself even the security protocol some wifi networks use, called WEP, is impacted.
