Summary

Array index error in the (1) ieee80211_ioctl_getwmmparams and (2) ieee80211_ioctl_setwmmparams functions in net80211/ieee80211_wireless.c in MadWifi before 0.9.3.1 allows local users to cause a denial of service (system crash), possibly obtain kernel memory contents, and possibly execute arbitrary code via a large negative array index value.

Common Weakness Enumeration (CWE)

Common Attack Pattern Enumeration and Classification (CAPEC)

  • Buffer Overflow via Environment Variables
    This attack pattern involves causing a buffer overflow through manipulation of environment variables. Once the attacker finds that they can modify an environment variable, they may try to overflow associated buffers. This attack leverages implicit trust often placed in environment variables.
  • Overflow Buffers
    Buffer Overflow attacks target improper or missing bounds checking on buffer operations, typically triggered by input injected by an attacker. As a consequence, an attacker is able to write past the boundaries of allocated buffer regions in memory, causing a program crash or potentially redirection of execution as per the attackers' choice.
  • Client-side Injection-induced Buffer Overflow
    This type of attack exploits a buffer overflow vulnerability in targeted client software through injection of malicious content from a custom-built hostile service.
  • Filter Failure through Buffer Overflow
    In this attack, the idea is to cause an active filter to fail by causing an oversized transaction. An attacker may try to feed overly long input strings to the program in an attempt to overwhelm the filter (by causing a buffer overflow) and hoping that the filter does not fail securely (i.e. the user input is let into the system unfiltered).
  • MIME Conversion
    An attacker exploits a weakness in the MIME conversion routine to cause a buffer overflow and gain control over the mail server machine. The MIME system is designed to allow various different information formats to be interpreted and sent via e-mail. Attack points exist when data are converted to MIME compatible format and back.

    descriptionThe 802.11 network stack in MadWifi prior to 0.9.3.1 would alloa remote attackers to cause a denial of service (system hang) via a crafted length field in nested 802.3 Ethernet frames in Fast Frame packets, which results in a NULL pointer dereference (CVE-2007-2829). The ath_beacon_config function in MadWifi prior to 0.9.3.1 would allow a remote attacker to cause a denial of service (system crash) via crafted beacon interval information when scanning for access points, which triggered a divide-by-zero error (CVE-2007-2830). An array index error in MadWifi prior to 0.9.3.1 would allow a local user to cause a denial of service (system crash) and possibly obtain kerenl memory contents, as well as possibly allowing for the execution of arbitrary code via a large negative array index value (CVE-2007-2831). Updated packages have been updated to 0.9.3.1 to correct these issues. Wpa_supplicant is built using madwifi-source and has been rebuilt using 0.9.3.1 source.

    NASL idGENTOO_GLSA-200706-04.NASL
    descriptionThe remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-200706-04 (MadWifi: Multiple vulnerabilities) Md Sohail Ahmad from AirTight Networks has discovered a divison by zero in the ath_beacon_config() function (CVE-2007-2830). The vendor has corrected an input validation error in the ieee80211_ioctl_getwmmparams() and ieee80211_ioctl_getwmmparams() functions(CVE-2007-2831), and an input sanitization error when parsing nested 802.3 Ethernet frame lengths (CVE-2007-2829). Impact : An attacker could send specially crafted packets to a vulnerable host to exploit one of these vulnerabilities, possibly resulting in the execution of arbitrary code with root privileges, or a Denial of Service. Workaround : There is no known workaround at this time.
