Theoretically, this vulnerability allows hackers to intercept communications between Android devices and Wi-Fi routers. We already know that the Android 4.1.1 device is affected by the Heartbleed, but grania claims that iOS and OSX devices may also be attacked by Cupid.
It is unclear how many devices are affected, but the impact is greater than that of Heartbleed. The most vulnerable is the EAP-based router.
The Heartbleed vulnerability was found last month. It exists in the encryption protocol OpenSSL, which is the most serious security vulnerability exposed by OpenSSL this year.
With this vulnerability, hackers can obtain the Logon account passwords of nearly 1/3 users starting with https in real time, covering a large number of online banking, shopping websites, and emails. It is reported that tens of millions of network servers may be affected by this vulnerability. In addition, the vulnerability has existed for about two years.
