CVE-2009-4026 (http://nvd.nist.gov/nvd.cfm?cvename=CVE-2009-4026):
  The mac80211 subsystem in the Linux kernel before
  2.6.32-rc8-next-20091201 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of
  service (panic) via a crafted Delete Block ACK (aka DELBA) packet,
  related to an erroneous "code shuffling patch."
