CRITICAL:
Moderately critical

DESCRIPTION:
H.D. Moore has reported a vulnerability in the Apple Airport driver,
which potentially can be exploited by malicious people to compromise
a vulnerable system.

The vulnerability is caused due to an error in the Airport driver
provided with Orinoco-based Airport cards when handling probe
response frames. This can be exploited to overwrite kernel memory and
potentially execute arbitrary code when the driver is running in
active scanning mode.

The vulnerability is reported in the driver on a PowerBook running
version 10.4.8. Other versions may also be affected.

SOLUTION:
Do not place the card into active scanning mode.
