Ubuntu Security Notice 479-1 - Multiple flaws in the MadWifi driver were discovered that could lead to a system crash. A physically near-by attacker could generate specially crafted wireless network traffic and cause a denial of service. A flaw was discovered in the MadWifi driver that would allow unencrypted network traffic to be sent prior to finishing WPA authentication. A physically near-by attacker could capture this, leading to a loss of privacy, denial of service, or network spoofing. A flaw was discovered in the MadWifi driver's ioctl handling. A local attacker could read kernel memory, or crash the system, leading to a denial of service.
344a3da22f67f8247b5e7468372fb07f84115ab5a533a61eb8d0ae2979db1a75Mandriva Linux Security Advisory - The 802.11 network stack in MadWifi prior to 0.9.3.1 would allow 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. 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. 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.

The vendor has corrected an input validation error in the ieee80211_ioctl_getwmmparams() and ieee80211_ioctl_getwmmparams() functions(CVE-207-2831), and an input sanitization error when parsing nested 802.3 Ethernet frame lengths (CVE-2007-2829). Versions less than 0.9.3.1 are affected.
