Comment 2 Dan Williams 2015-11-11 17:21:20 UTC

I don't believe that Fedora is affected by this bug as we do not enable the required CONFIG_WNM=y option when building wpa_supplicant.

From upstream's original mail:

--------
Possible mitigation steps

- wpa_supplicant: Disable CONFIG_WNM=y in the build configuration
  (wpa_supplicant/.config) (i.e., remove the line or comment it out);
  note: this will disable all WNM functionality, so this mitigation option
  may not be appropriate for number of use cases.
--------

Since we do not enable CONFIG_WNM=y in the first place, we have already mitigated it.
