    Package : kismet
    Vulnerability : several
    Problem-Type : remote
    Debian-specific: no
    CVE ID : CAN-2005-2626 CAN-2005-2627
    CERT advisory :
    BugTraq ID :
    Debian Bug :

    Several security related problems have been discovered in kismet, a
    wireless 802.11b monitoring tool. The Common Vulnerabilities and
    Exposures project identifies the following problems:

    CAN-2005-2626

        Insecure handling of unprintable characters in the SSID.

    CAN-2005-2627

        Multiple integer underflows could allow remote attackers to
        execute arbitrary code.

    The old stable distribution (woody) does not seem to be affected by
    these problems.

    For the stable distribution (sarge) these problems have been fixed in
    version 2005.04.R1-1sarge1.

    For the unstable distribution (sid) these problems have been fixed in
    version 2005.08.R1-1.

    We recommend that you upgrade your kismet package.
