UNSOLVED
Patch up your Intel Centrino Wireless Driver now...or else!
Description from Intel:
Security vulnerabilities have been identified in the Microsoft* Windows* drivers for the Intel® 2200BG and 2915ABG PRO/Wireless Network Connection Hardware (w22n50.sys, w22n51.sys, w29n50.sys, w29n51.sys), which could potentially be exploited by attackers within range of the Wi-Fi station to execute arbitrary code on the target system with kernel-level privileges. These flaws are due to a memory corruption while parsing certain frames.
Affected products include: Intel PRO/Wireless 2200BG with all prior driver versions to 10.5 and Intel PRO/Wireless 2915ABG with all previous 10.5 driver versions as well. Application versions affected include 8, 9, and 10.
