+  <description>
+    <p>
+    Clemens Kolbitsch and Sylvester Keil reported an error when processing
+    beacon frames with an overly large "length" value in the "xrates"
+    element.
+    </p>
+  </description>
+  <impact type="normal">
+    <p>
+    A remote attacker could act as an access point and send a specially
+    crafted packet to an Atheros based wireless client, possibly resulting
+    in a Denial of Service (kernel panic).
+    </p>
+  </impact>
+  <workaround>
+    <p>
+    There is no known workaround at this time.
+    </p>
+  </workaround>
+  <resolution>
+    <p>
+    All MadWifi users should upgrade to the latest version:
+    </p>
+    <code>
+    # emerge --sync
+    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose &quot;&gt;=net-wireless/madwifi-ng-0.9.3.3&quot;</code>
