TITLE:
Ubuntu update for kernel

SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA32509

VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/32509/

CRITICAL:
Moderately critical

IMPACT:
DoS, System access

WHERE:
>From remote

OPERATING SYSTEM:
Ubuntu Linux 8.10
http://secunia.com/advisories/product/20299/

DESCRIPTION:
Ubuntu has issued an update for the kernel. This fixes a
vulnerability, which can be exploited by malicious people to cause a
DoS (Denial of Service) or to potentially compromise a vulnerable
system.

The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error in the
ndiswrapper kernel driver when processing wireless network packets.
This can be exploited to cause a buffer overflow via an overly long
ESSID (Extended Service Set Identifier).

Successful exploitation may allow execution of arbitrary code.

SOLUTION:
Apply updated packages.

-- Ubuntu 8.10 --
