+ <title>MadWifi: Multiple vulnerabilities</title>
+ <synopsis>
+ Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in the MadWifi driver,
+ possibly leading to a Denial of Service and information disclosure.
+ </synopsis>
+ <product type="ebuild">Madwifi-ng</product>
+ <announced>2007-04-17</announced>
+ <revised>2007-04-21: 02</revised>
+ <bug>173434</bug>
+ <access>remote</access>
+ <affected>
+ <package name="net-wireless/madwifi-ng" auto="yes" arch="*">
+ <unaffected range="ge">0.9.3</unaffected>
+ <vulnerable range="lt">0.9.3</vulnerable>
+ </package>
+ </affected>
+ <background>
+ <p>
+ The MadWifi driver provides support for Atheros based IEEE 802.11
+ Wireless Lan cards.
+ </p>
+ </background>
+ <description>
+ <p>
+ The driver does not properly process Channel Switch Announcement
+ Information Elements, allowing for an abnormal channel change. The
+ ieee80211_input() function does not properly handle AUTH frames and the
+ driver sends unencrypted packets before WPA authentication succeeds.
+ </p>
+ </description>
+ <impact type="normal">
+ <p>
+ A remote attacker could send specially crafted AUTH frames to the
+ vulnerable host, resulting in a Denial of Service by crashing the
+ kernel. A remote attacker could gain access to sensitive information
+ about network architecture by sniffing unencrypted packets. A remote
+ attacker could also send a Channel Switch Count less than or equal to
+ one to trigger a channel change, resulting in a communication loss and
+ a Denial of Service.
+ </p>
+ </impact>
+ <workaround>
+ <p>
+ There is no known workaround at this time.
+ </p>
+ </workaround>
+ <resolution>
+ <p>
+ All MadWifi users should upgrade to the latest version:
+ </p>
+ <code>
+ # emerge --sync
+ # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=net-wireless/madwifi-ng-0.9.3"</code>
+ </resolution>
