Well if thats the case and its easily reproducible in the field by script kiddie idiots, then yeah its kind of a big deal, since there are no better alternatives for wifi security.
Hopefully its just one of those 'in the lab' kind of exploits.
edit: just spent more time than I should have looking for this, and I havent found any WPA2 exploits that dont involve brute force. A few articles with dramatic headlines from journos but in the end its still brute force so :dunno: Id like to think that an exploit of that scale would be easy to find info on :dunno: so Im personally not quite ready to declare WPA2 insecure :dunno: :dunno:
