Marvell Null SSID Association Request

WVE ID: WVE-2008-0010

Type: Vulnerability

Status: Candidate

Classification:

Description:
Some versions of the Marvell drivers used in access points such as the Netgear WN802T do not correctly parse the SSID information element tag contained in association request frames.

Discussion:
A malicious association request with a null SSID (e.g. zero length SSID) can trigger a denial of service or potential code execution condition on the targeted device.
