AusCERT - AA-2004.02 -- Denial of Service Vulnerability in IEEE 802.11 Wireless Devices
This does not sound good :-/
AusCERT - AA-2004.02 -- Denial of Service Vulnerability in IEEE 802.11 Wireless Devices:
Date: 13 May 2004
AusCERT Reference #: AA-2004.02
A vulnerability exists in hardware implementations of the IEEE 802.11 wireless protocol[1] that allows for a trivial but effective attack against the availability of wireless local area network(WLAN) devices.
An attacker using a low-powered, portable device such as an electronic PDA and a commonly available wireless networking card may cause significant disruption to all WLAN traffic within range, in a manner that makes identification and localisation of the attacker difficult.
