Aircrack-ng: User-assisted execution of arbitrary code A buffer overflow vulnerability in Aircrack-ng could result in execution of arbitrary code or Denial of Service. aircrack-ng 2013-10-07 2013-10-07 311797 remote 1.1-r2 1.1-r2

Aircrack-ng is an 802.11 WEP and WPA-PSK keys cracking program that can recover keys once enough data packets have been captured.

A buffer overflow vulnerability has been discovered in Aircrack-ng.

A remote attacker could entice a user to open a specially crafted dump file using Aircrack-ng, possibly resulting in execution of arbitrary code with the privileges of the process or a Denial of Service condition.

There is no known workaround at this time.

All Aircrack-ng users should upgrade to the latest version:


      # emerge --sync
      # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=net-wireless/aircrack-ng-1.1-r2"
