I haven't heard but a peep out of Ford whether they will release anything to patch our systems.

That said, all your wifi devices should get patched. I spent a few weeks along with others arguing with Chamberlain to get my Wifi garage door opener patched, they finally gave in. Android/Linux was most heavily impacted. Most newer phones got patched already. Microsoft released wifi driver patches via windows update. EVERY wifi device is affected so your wireless router needs a patch/firmware update as well. IOT devices, the list goes on.

Trendnet says this does NOT affect Wifi routers/access points, interestingly.

WPA2 Security KRACK Attack Notice
A WPA2 vulnerability from the KRACK Attack was revealed on Oct. 16, 2017. This attack affects the entire wireless industry, but affected devices can be patched with a security update. TRENDnet is currently investigating the issue and we are working with our semiconductor chipset partners on patches. Updates will be posted on product download pages once available.
Note:
The WPA2 KRACK main attack targets client devices against the 4-way handshake, and requires physical proximity. Wi-Fi routers and wireless access points are not affected by this attack. However, to reduce the risk of attacks against your router or access points, disable client functionality and fast roaming (802.11r). For home users, be sure to keep client devices, such as laptops and smartphones, updated.
