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.
