I came across this in the news today, it seems to be a pretty big security hole in ndiswrapper. "Multiple buffer overflows in the ndiswrapper module 1.53 for the Linux kernel 2.6 allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code by sending packets over a local wireless network that specify long ESSIDs." http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2008-4395 https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/275860 Jonathan
