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.
