kismet - several

Several security related problems have been discovered in kismet, a
wireless 802.11b monitoring tool. The Common Vulnerabilities and
Exposures project identifies the following problems:

• CAN-2005-2626
  Insecure handling of unprintable characters in the SSID.

• CAN-2005-2627
  Multiple integer underflows could allow remote attackers to
  execute arbitrary code.

The old stable distribution (woody) does not seem to be affected by
these problems.

For the stable distribution (sarge) these problems have been fixed in
version 2005.04.R1-1sarge1.

For the unstable distribution (sid) these problems have been fixed in
version 2005.08.R1-1.

We recommend that you upgrade your kismet package.
