Bug description:
  SRU Justification

  Impact: Intel wireless firmware WoWLAN functionality is vulnerable to
  some CVEs from the KRACK attack vulnerabilities, CVE-2017-13080 and
  CVE-2017-13081.

  Fix: Updated firmware from Intel containing fixes for these
  vulnerabilities.

  Test Case: Difficult to test; we are reliant on testing done by Intel.

  Regression Potential: There is always some possibility for regressions
  with firmware updates, but as these are bug fix updates the regression
  potential is minimal. I have been using the 7260 firmware for over a
  week now without issue.
