Description:
Karl Janmar has reported a vulnerability in FreeBSD, which potentially can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a vulnerable system.
The vulnerability is caused due to an integer overflow error in the "net80211" module when handling corrupt IEEE 802.11 beacons or probe response frames during scanning for existing wireless networks. This can result in a buffer overflow and may allow execution of arbitrary code on a vulnerable system scanning for wireless networks.
