Category:	Mandrake Local Security Checks
Title:	Mandrake Security Advisory MDVSA-2008:007 (madwifi-source)
Summary:	NOSUMMARY
Description:	Description: The remote host is missing an update to madwifi-source announced via advisory MDVSA-2008:007. MadWifi prior to 0.9.3.3 allowed remote attackers to cause a denial of service (panic) via a beacon frame with a large length value in the extended supported rates (xrates) element, which would trigger an assertion error. Updated packages have been updated to 0.9.3.3 to correct this issue. Wpa_supplicant is built using madwifi-source and has been rebuilt using 0.9.3.3 source. Affected: 2007.0, 2007.1, 2008.0 Solution: To upgrade automatically use MandrakeUpdate or urpmi. The verification of md5 checksums and GPG signatures is performed automatically for you. http://www.securityspace.com/smysecure/catid.html?in=MDVSA-2008:007 Risk factor : Medium CVSS Score: 4.3
