CVE-2006-5710
The Airport driver for certain Orinoco based Airport cards in Darwin kernel 8.8.0 in Apple Mac OS X 10.4.8, and possibly other versions, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via an 802.11 probe response frame without any valid information element (IE) fields after the header, which triggers a heap-based buffer overflow.
| Software | From | Fixed in |
|---|---|---|
| opendarwin / darwin_kernel | 8.8.0 | 8.8.0.x |
| apple / mac_os_x | 10.4.8 | 10.4.8.x |
