Descriptions
The ieee80211_fragment function in net/mac80211/tx.c in the Linux kernel before 3.13.5 does not properly maintain a certain tail pointer, which allows remote attackers to obtain sensitive cleartext information by reading packets.
La función ieee80211_fragment en net/mac80211/tx.c en el kernel de Linux anterior a 3.13.5 no mantiene debidamente cierto puntero de cola, lo que permite a atacantes remotos obtener información sensible en texto plano mediante la lectura de paquetes.
An information leak flaw was found in the Linux kernel's IEEE 802.11 wireless networking implementation. When software encryption was used, a remote attacker could use this flaw to leak up to 8 bytes of plaintext.
