+----------------+
Wed Oct 18 10:26:49 EDT 2017
net-base/wpa_supplicant rebuilt (build 4) to fix several security
	vulnerabilities collectively known as the Krack Attacks. These
	vulnerabilities allowed for an attacker within the physical range
	of a WPA2 secured network to hijack the four way handshake (which occurs
	when a new client connects to the network) and decrypt the connection,
	amongst other things. This vulnerability has been assigned the following
	CVE IDs: CVE-2017-13077, CVE-2017-13078, CVE-2017-13079, CVE-2017-13080,
	CVE-2017-13081, CVE-2017-13082, CVE-2017-13084, CVE-2017-13086,
	CVE-2017-13087 and CVE-2017-13088. For more information see:
