Package        : aircrack-ng
Vulnerability  : programming error
Problem-Scope  : remote
Debian-specific: No
CVE ID         : CVE-2007-2057 

It was discovered that aircrack-ng, a WEP/WPA security analysis tool, performs 
insufficient validation of 802.11 authentication packets, which allows the 
execution of arbitrary code.

For the testing distribution (etch) this is fixed in version
1:0.8-0.1lenny1

Packages for the alpha, mipsel, and powerpc architectures are still missing and will
be released when they become available.

For the unstable distribution (sid) this is fixed in version
1:0.7-3

This upgrade is recommended if you use aircrack-ng.
