** Description changed: - Buffer overflow flaws in the Linux kernel's netlink-based wireless - configuration interface implementation could allow a local user, who has - the CAP_NET_ADMIN capability, to cause a denial of service or escalate - their privileges on systems that have an active wireless interface. + Multiple buffer overflows in net/wireless/nl80211.c in the Linux kernel + before 2.6.39.2 allow local users to gain privileges by leveraging the + CAP_NET_ADMIN capability during scan operations with a long SSID value.
