Aircrack-ng is an 802.11 WEP and WPA-PSK keys cracking program that can recover keys once enough data packets have been captured.
Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in Aircrack-ng. Please review the CVE identifiers referenced below for details.
A local attacker can use this flaw to execute arbitrary code or gain escalated privileges. A remote attacker execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the process or a Denial of Service condition.
There is no known workaround at this time.
All Aircrack-ng users should upgrade to the latest version:
# emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=net-wireless/aircrack-ng-1.2_rc1"
A buffer overflow vulnerability in Aircrack-ng could result in execution of arbitrary code or Denial of Service.
| Package | Arch | Vulnerable | Unaffected |
|---|---|---|---|
| net-wireless/aircrack-ng | * | < 1.1-r2 | >= 1.1-r2 |
Aircrack-ng is an 802.11 WEP and WPA-PSK keys cracking program that can recover keys once enough data packets have been captured.
A buffer overflow vulnerability has been discovered in Aircrack-ng.
A remote attacker could entice a user to open a specially crafted dump file using Aircrack-ng, possibly resulting in execution of arbitrary code with the privileges of the process or a Denial of Service condition.
There is no known workaround at this time.
All Aircrack-ng users should upgrade to the latest version:
# emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=net-wireless/aircrack-ng-1.1-r2"
Aircrack-ng contains a buffer overflow that could lead to the remote execution of arbitrary code with root privileges.
| Package | Arch | Vulnerable | Unaffected |
|---|---|---|---|
| net-wireless/aircrack-ng | * | < 0.7-r2 | >= 0.7-r2 |
Aircrack-ng is an 802.11 WEP and WPA-PSK keys cracking program that can recover keys once enough data packets have been captured.
Jonathan So reported that the airodump-ng module does not correctly check the size of 802.11 authentication packets before copying them into a buffer.
A remote attacker could trigger a stack-based buffer overflow by sending a specially crafted 802.11 authentication packet to a user running airodump-ng with the -w (--write) option. This could lead to the remote execution of arbitrary code with the permissions of the user running airodump-ng, which is typically the root user.
There is no known workaround at this time.
