The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-200907-08 (Multiple Ralink wireless drivers: Execution of arbitrary code)

Aviv reported an integer overflow in multiple Ralink wireless card     drivers when processing a probe request packet with a long SSID,     possibly related to an integer signedness error.

Impact :

A physically proximate attacker could send specially crafted packets to     a user who has wireless networking enabled, possibly resulting in the     execution of arbitrary code with root privileges.

Workaround :

Unload the kernel modules.
