Public bug reported: This article:
http://www.computerworld.com/action/article.do?command=viewArticleBasic&articleId=9016598&source=rss_topic122 claims that a remotely exploitable buffer overflow has been found in the MadWiFi Atheros driver. Given that a large fraction of laptops running Ubuntu have Atheros cards, this would seem to be a serious issue. I'd suggest getting in touch with the upstream source (Sam Leffler?) and see if a patch is available ASAP. ** Affects: Ubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: Unconfirmed -- remotely exploitable bug in MadWifi Atheros driver https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/107063 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
