Discussion

Multiple Ralinktech Wireless Drivers MAC/BSS/SSID Integer Overflow Vulnerability

Multiple Ralinktech wireless drivers are prone to an integer-overflow vulnerability because they fail to ensure that integer values aren't overrrun.

Successful exploits may allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code with kernel-level privileges, resulting in the complete compromise of an affected device. Failed exploit attempts will likely cause denial-of-service conditions.

Ralink USB Wireless Adapter (RT73) 3.08 is affected. Other unspecified devices are also affected.
