Description:
Ubuntu-Description:
Chris Evans discovered that the 802.11 network stack did not correctly
handle certain QOS frames. 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.
