Description:
    Previous versions of the madwifi package were vulnerable to a number of 
Denial-of-Service issues, at least two of which can be exploited to cause a 
system crash (kernel oops). In addition, previous versions could be made to send 
unencrypted information before authentication finishes when using WPA, an 
information leak.
