CVE-2006-0226
Integer overflow in IEEE 802.11 network subsystem (ieee80211_ioctl.c) in FreeBSD before 6.0-STABLE, while scanning for wireless networks, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code by broadcasting crafted (1) beacon or (2) probe response frames.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (5.82%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
