Description

A remote overflow exists in KisMAC. KisMAC fails to check boundary in the "WavePacket:parseTaggedData()" function when parsing the Cisco vendor tag for additional SSIDs in a received 802.11 management frame resulting in a stack-based buffer overflow. With a specially crafted set of management frames that are sent onto the wireless network while the user is performing a passive network scan or tricking the user into opening a malicious pcap file, an attacker can cause arbitrary code execution resulting in a loss of integrity, and/or availability.
