    Package : rt2570
    Vulnerability : integer overflow
    Problem type : remote
    Debian-specific: no
    CVE Id(s) : CVE-2009-0282

    It was discovered that an integer overflow in the "Probe Request" packet
    parser of the Ralinktech wireless drivers might lead to remote denial of service or the execution of arbitrary code.

    Please note that you need to rebuild your driver from the source
    package in order to set this update into effect. Detailed
    instructions can be found in /usr/share/doc/rt2570-source/README.Debian

    For the stable distribution (etch), this problem has been fixed in
    version 1.1.0+cvs20060620-3+etch1.

    For the upcoming stable distribution (lenny) and the unstable
    distribution (sid), this problem has been fixed in version

    We recommend that you upgrade your rt2570 package.
