A remote attacker on the local wireless network could send specially crafted packets that would panic the kernel, resulting in a denial of service. Notes: > The summary is that an evil 80211 frame can crash out a victim's > machine. It only applies to drivers using the 80211 wireless code, and > only then to certain drivers (and even then depends on a card's > firmware not dropping a dubious packet). I must confess I'm not > keeping track of Linux wireless support, and the different protocol > stacks etc. jmm> 04045f98e0457aba7d4e6736f37eed189c48a5f7 Bugs: upstream: released (2.6.23) linux-2.6: released (2.6.23-1) 2.6.18-etch-security: released (2.6.18.dfsg.1-13etch5) [bugfix/ieee80211-underflow.patch] 2.6.8-sarge-security: N/A 2.4.27-sarge-security: N/A 2.6.15-dapper-security: released (2.6.15-29.61) 2.6.17-edgy-security: released (2.6.17.1-12.42) 2.6.20-feisty-security: released (2.6.20-16.33) 2.6.22-gutsy-security: released (2.6.22-14.47)
