Apple AirPort Wireless Drivers Vulnerabilities

Apple has released Security Update 2006-005 to correct multiple vulnerabilities affecting Apple AirPort wireless drivers. Exploitation of these vulnerabilities could allow a remote, unauthenticated attacker to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial-of-service condition. Note that because device drivers execute with kernel (ring 0) privileges, exploitation of device drivers can lead to full, unrestricted access to the vulnerable system.

More information about the vulnerabilities can be found in these Vulnerability Notes and Apple Security Update 2006-005.

We recommend applying the updates in Apple Security Update 2006-005.

We will continue to monitor this issue and provide additional information as it becomes available.
