Kernel Bugs Come Marchin’ In

The first installment of the Month of Kernel Bugs (MOKB) is a Mac OS X WiFi exploit created by researcher HD Moore. The bug is basically an Apple Airport memory corruption exploit that sends bogus “probe response” packets to the Mac machine. Moore found the flaw with his own 802.11 fuzzing tools, which are based on a C fuzzer built by Jon Ellch. The vulnerability seems to be in the Airport driver itself, but the exploit works by corrupting kernel memory using it.”]
