 Mandriva Linux Security Advisory                         MDKSA-2007:132

 Package : madwifi-source
 Date    : June 21, 2007
 Affected: 2007.0, 2007.1

 _______________________________________________________________________

 

 Problem Description:  

 The 802.11 network stack in MadWifi prior to 0.9.3.1 would alloa remote  attackers to cause a denial of service (system hang) via a crafted  length field in nested 802.3 Ethernet frames in Fast Frame packets,  which results in a NULL pointer dereference (CVE-2007-2829).  

 The ath_beacon_config function in MadWifi prior to 0.9.3.1 would  allow a remote attacker to cause a denial of service (system crash)  via crafted beacon interval information when scanning for access  points, which triggered a divide-by-zero error (CVE-2007-2830).  

 An array index error in MadWifi prior to 0.9.3.1 would allow a  local user to cause a denial of service (system crash) and possibly  obtain kerenl memory contents, as well as possibly allowing for the  execution of arbitrary code via a large negative array index value  (CVE-2007-2831).    Updated packages have been updated to 0.9.3.1 to correct these  issues. Wpa_supplicant is built using madwifi-source and has been  rebuilt using 0.9.3.1 source.
