CVE-2013-4579 (http://nvd.nist.gov/nvd.cfm?cvename=CVE-2013-4579): The ath9k_htc_set_bssid_mask function in drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath9k/htc_drv_main.c in the Linux kernel through 3.12 uses a BSSID masking approach to determine the set of MAC addresses on which a Wi-Fi device is listening, which allows remote attackers to discover the original MAC address after spoofing by sending a series of packets to MAC addresses with certain bit manipulations. In 3.12.7 as 657eb17d87852c42b55c4b06d5425baa08b2ddb3. |
