Description
The Airport driver for certain Orinoco based Airport cards in Darwin kernel 8.8.0 in Apple Mac OS X 10.4.8, and possibly other versions, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via an 802.11 probe response frame without any valid information element (IE) fields after the header, which triggers a heap-based buffer overflow.
Public exploits
Exploit or proof-of-concept code for this vulnerability is publicly available, which lowers the bar for attackers. Treat it as a reason to patch sooner.
Third-party code, not reviewed by us. Public PoCs are sometimes fake or contain malware. Read the code first and run it only in an isolated lab, against systems you are authorised to test.
