Do you know if Arch is affected?
Offline
Nobody mentioned linux wireless drivers so far, which most likely means that they haven't tried. Such attacks may be possible for Linux, but as of now, no one know if and how.

Have you read the article?

Oops, sorry, I read a similar article about the same topic which didn't mention linux at all (only Mac and Windows). If they say they successfully compromised a linux this way, then arch is definitely affected (assuming you use one of the vulnerable wifi drivers). But as far as I can see, they didn't publish any details about this, so we cannot know which drivers are vulnerable.

For the mac they used 3rd party drivers for a non-native card. I would take what they say with a grain of salt until they point out what drivers are vulnerable.

The card they were using was atheros-based... From what I understood, it's how the drivers are handled, not necessarily a problem with specific drivers.
