For Airport users!!

Here's all you need to know if you use an Apple Airport Extreme or Express base station:

Vendor Response:
New firmware has been released for both devices. Update your
WDS-enabled networks to the latest firmware as soon as possible.


Also, its worth pointing out that the vulnerability only affected base stations configured for WDS, which is not the standard setup for most users. WDS is only used when you setup the Airport as a "repeater" to extend the range of an existing Airport network.

Updating the Airport firmware should set things straight (use the Airport Admin utility in /Applications/Utilities, select the base station, and choose the "upload firmware" button).
