Wireless Trifecta.
The Trifecta is now Completed! ;-)
from: http://projects.info-pull.com/mokb/MOKB-18-11-2006.html
The NetGear MA521 wireless adapter (PCMCIA) ships with a version of MA521nd5.SYS that is vulnerable to a memory corruption condition. This issue may lead to arbitrary kernel-mode code execution (1). When a specific malformed 802.11 frame (beacon or probe response) is received by the wireless interface under active scanning mode, the MA521nd5.SYS driver attempts to write to an attacker-controlled memory location. The vulnerability is triggered by an invalid supported rates information element. NetGear was NOT contacted about this flaw.
------------------------------------
This flaw along with the Macbook and Broadcom wireless flaws makes the
third potentially really big wireless bug. Thanks Guys for completing the trifecta.
