The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-200704-16 (Aircrack-ng: Remote execution of arbitrary code)

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.

Impact :

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.

Workaround :

There is no known workaround at this time.
