   tvOS 11.1 Patches KRACK in Apple TV

   Josh Centers

   Apple has released [1]tvOS 11.1 for the fourth-generation Apple TV and
   Apple TV 4K, expanding the availability of the TV app to Norway and
   Sweden. You can update your Apple TV by going to Settings > System >
   Software Updates.

   tvOS 11.1 also includes [2]five security fixes ' most notably to
   correct the KRACK Wi-Fi vulnerability discussed in '[3]Wi-Fi Security
   Flaw Not As Bad As It's KRACKed Up To Be' (17 October 2017).

   We haven't heard of any issues with the tvOS 11.1 update yet, but it's
   never a bad idea to wait a day or two to make sure none crop up.
