Intel Released Security Update for Wireless Drivers

Intel released a security update for its Intel 2200BG and 2915AVG Pro/Wireless Network Connection Hardware device drivers and PROSet management software on laptops to help protect against serious security vulnerabilities. An attacker, within range of the Wi-Fi station, can exploit these vulnerabilities to lead to remote code execution and system control, Laptop Logic published.

Intel published that these flaws are due to a memory corruption while parsing certain frames.
