Descriptions

Race condition in the ath_tx_aggr_sleep function in drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath9k/xmit.c in the Linux kernel before 3.13.7 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (system crash) via a large amount of network traffic that triggers certain list deletions.

Condición de carrera en la función ath_tx_aggr_sleep en drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath9k/xmit.c en el kernel de Linux anterior a 3.13.7 permite a atacantes remotos causar una denegación de servicio (caída de sistema) a través de una cantidad grande de tráfico de red que provoca ciertas eliminaciones de lista.

It was found that a remote attacker could use a race condition flaw in the ath_tx_aggr_sleep() function to crash the system by creating large network traffic on the system's Atheros 9k wireless network adapter.
