What is CVE-2008-4395?
The NDISWrapper module version 1.53 for the Linux kernel 2.6 is susceptible to multiple buffer overflow vulnerabilities. These vulnerabilities can be exploited by remote attackers who send specially crafted packets over a local wireless network, allowing them to execute arbitrary code. The issue arises due to the handling of long Extended Service Set Identifiers (ESSIDs), which can lead to a breach of system integrity within the affected environments. It is crucial for users relying on this module to apply relevant patches and follow best practices regarding network security to mitigate the risks associated with this vulnerability.
