Descriptions
Race condition in the mac80211 subsystem in the Linux kernel before 3.13.7 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (system crash) via network traffic that improperly interacts with the WLAN_STA_PS_STA state (aka power-save mode), related to sta_info.c and tx.c.
Condición de carrera en el subsistema mac80211 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 trafico de red que no interactúa debidamente con el estado WLAN_STA_PS_STA (también conocido como el modo power-save), relacionado con sta_info.c y tx.c.
A race condition flaw was found in the way the Linux kernel's mac80211 subsystem implementation handled synchronization between TX and STA wake-up code paths. A remote attacker could use this flaw to crash the system.
