Hi folks,

Security Researcher Soenke Huster from Tu Darmstadt (
shuster () seemoo tu-darmstadt de ) emailed SUSE with a buffer overwrite in
the Linux Kernel mac80211 framework triggered by WLAN frames.

We delegated the issue to the kernel security folks, and Soenke and
Johannes Berg from Intel evaluated and worked on this issue.

During their research they found multiple more problems in the WLAN
stack, exploitable over the air.

The patchset has been posted to the netdev list just now and will be
merged in the next hours/days:

Are these fixes going to be backported to stable?  I did not see
CC: stable () vger kernel org in any of the commit messages.
