Vulnerability from fkie_nvd - Published: 2007-05-24 02:30 - Updated: 2026-06-16 22:40
Severity
Summary
The 802.11 network stack in net80211/ieee80211_input.c in MadWifi before 0.9.3.1 allows 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.
