The MadWifi driver provides support for Atheros based IEEE 802.11
Wireless Lan cards.

<description>
<p>
Clemens Kolbitsch and Sylvester Keil reported an error when processing
beacon frames with an overly large "length" value in the "xrates"
element.
</p>
</description>
<impact type="normal">
<p>
A remote attacker could act as an access point and send a specially
crafted packet to an Atheros based wireless client, possibly resulting
in a Denial of Service (kernel panic).
</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 ">=net-wireless/madwifi-ng-0.9.3.3"</code>
</resolution>
