CVE-2006-6059

Buffer overflow in MA521nd5.SYS driver 5.148.724.2003 for NetGear MA521 PCMCIA adapter allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via (1) beacon or (2) probe 802.11 frame responses with an long supported rates information element. NOTE: this issue was reported as a "memory corruption" error, but the associated exploit code suggests that it is a buffer overflow.
