<p>
|
|
Laurent Butti, Jerome Raznieski and Julien Tinnes reported a buffer
|
|
overflow in the encode_ie() and the giwscan_cb() functions from
|
|
ieee80211_wireless.c.
|
|
</p>
|
|
</description>
|
|
<impact type="high">
|
|
<p>
|
|
A remote attacker could send specially crafted wireless WPA packets
|
|
containing malicious RSN Information Headers (IE) that could
|
|
potentially lead to the remote execution of arbitrary code as the root
|
|
user.
|
|
</p>

</impact>
|
|
<workaround>
|
|
<p>
|
|
There is no known workaround at this time.

</workaround>
|
|
<resolution>
|
|
<p>
|
|
All MadWifi users should upgrade to the latest version:
|

</p>
|
|
<code>
|
|
# emerge --sync
|
|
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=net-wireless/madwifi-ng-0.9.2.1"</code>
