Description:
 Multiple buffer overflows in the ndiswrapper module 1.53 for the Linux
 kernel 2.6 allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code by sending
 packets over a local wireless network that specify long ESSIDs.
Ubuntu-Description: 
 Anders Kaseorg discovered that ndiswrapper did not correctly handle
 long ESSIDs.  If ndiswrapper is in use, a physically near-by attacker
 could generate specially crafted wireless network traffic and crash
 the system, leading to a denial of service.
