----------------------------------------------------------------------

Summary:
Security vulnerabilities exist in the Microsoft* Windows* drivers for the Intel® 
2200BG and 2915ABG PRO/Wireless Network Connection Hardware because of the way 
that they currently handle certain frames. An attacker could potentially exploit 
these vulnerabilities which could potentially lead to remote code execution and 
system control.

Description:
Security vulnerabilities have been identified in the Microsoft* Windows* drivers 
for the Intel® 2200BG and 2915ABG PRO/Wireless Network Connection Hardware 
(w22n50.sys, w22n51.sys, w29n50.sys, w29n51.sys), which could potentially be 
exploited by attackers within range of the Wi-Fi station to execute arbitrary 
code on the target system with kernel-level privileges. These flaws are due to a 
memory corruption while parsing certain frames.
