+Subject: [PATCH] mac80211: accept key reinstall without changing anything
+
+When a key is reinstalled we can reset the replay counters
+etc. which can lead to nonce reuse and/or replay detection
+being impossible, breaking security properties, as described
+in the "KRACK attacks".
+
+In particular, CVE-2017-13080 applies to GTK rekeying that
+happened in firmware while the host is in D3, with the second
+part of the attack being done after the host wakes up. In
+this case, the wpa_supplicant mitigation isn't sufficient
+since wpa_supplicant doesn't know the GTK material.
+
+In case this happens, simply silently accept the new key
+coming from userspace but don't take any action on it since
+it's the same key; this keeps the PN replay counters intact.
