Detailsinfo

A vulnerability has been found in MadWifi 0.9.2 (Wireless LAN Software) and classified as critical. Affected by this vulnerability is some unknown functionality of the file ieee80211_output.c. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a authentication spoofing vulnerability. The CWE definition for the vulnerability is CWE-290. This attack-focused weakness is caused by incorrectly implemented authentication schemes that are subject to spoofing attacks. As an impact it is known to affect confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The summary by CVE is:

ieee80211_output.c in MadWifi before 0.9.3 sends unencrypted packets before WPA authentication succeeds, which allows remote attackers to obtain sensitive information (related to network structure), and possibly cause a denial of sevice (disrupted authentication) and conduct spoofing attacks.

The bug was discovered 10/19/2006. The weakness was published 03/29/2007 (Website). The advisory is shared at vupen.com. This vulnerability is known as CVE-2006-7180 since 03/29/2007. The attack can be launched remotely. The exploitation doesn't need any form of authentication. Technical details are known, but no exploit is available.

It is declared as proof-of-concept. The vulnerability was handled as a non-public zero-day exploit for at least 161 days. During that time the estimated underground price was around $0-$5k. The vulnerability scanner Nessus provides a plugin with the ID 25060 (GLSA-200704-15 : MadWifi: Multiple vulnerabilities), which helps to determine the existence of the flaw in a target environment. It is assigned to the family Gentoo Local Security Checks and running in the context l.

Upgrading to version 0.9.3 eliminates this vulnerability. A possible mitigation has been published 3 weeks after the disclosure of the vulnerability.

The vulnerability is also documented in the databases at X-Force (33514), Tenable (25060), SecurityFocus (BID 23434†), OSVDB (34646†) and Secunia (SA24670†). Similar entries are available at VDB-2994 and VDB-35904. Several companies clearly confirm that VulDB is the primary source for best vulnerability data.
