Alarm Raised for Critical Broadcom Wi-Fi Driver Flaw Sat Nov 11, 2006 http://news.yahoo.com/s/zd/20061111/tc_zd/193827 " Computer security analysts are raising the alarm for a critical vulnerability in the Broadcom wireless driver embedded in PCs from HP, Dell, Gateway and eMachines. The volunteer ZERT (Zero Day Emergency Response Team) warns that the flaw could be exploited wirelessly if a vulnerable machine is within range of the attacker. Microsoft's Windows operating system is exploitable without the existence of an access point or any interaction from the user. "The card's background scan of available wireless networks triggers the flaw," the group said.
