+ <synopsis>
+ Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in MadWifi, possibly allowing
+ for the execution of arbitrary code or a Denial of Service.

+ Md Sohail Ahmad from AirTight Networks has discovered a divison by zero
+ in the ath_beacon_config() function (CVE-2007-2830). 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).
+ </p>
+ </description>
+ <impact type="high">
+ <p>
+ An attacker could send specially crafted packets to a vulnerable host
+ to exploit one of these vulnerabilities, possibly resulting in the
+ execution of arbitrary code with root privileges, or 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-0.9.3.1"</code>
