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.
Does this matter?
EPSS puts the probability of exploitation in the next 30 days at 18.9%, higher than 97% of all known CVEs. Patch or mitigate before the next change window.
