VULHUB ™

It has been reported that the IEEE 802.11 wireless network protocol is affected by a remote denial of service vulnerability. This issue is due to a design error that might cause an affected device to stop transmitting network data through wireless mediums. This issue is reported to affect only wireless hardware devices that implement IEEE 802.11 using a DSSS physical layer. This issue might allow an attacker to cause all nodes on a wireless network, both access points and hosts, to stop transmitting network data; this would effectively cause a network wide denial of service condition.
