The ath_rate_sample function in the ath_rate/sample/sample.c sample code in MadWifi before 0.9.3 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (failed KASSERT and system crash) by moving a connected system to a location with low signal strength, and possibly other vectors related to a race condition between interface enabling and packet transmission.

Security readout for executives and security teams

CVE-2005-4835 affects legacy MadWifi wireless driver code before 0.9.3. A connected system could crash when wireless signal conditions degrade, causing denial of service. Business urgency is mainly for organizations still running old Linux wireless stacks or vendor packages that included MadWifi. Exposure is likely limited to legacy Linux systems using MadWifi before 0.9.3 or distribution packages covered by the Mandriva and SUSE advisories. Modern systems that do not use MadWifi are unlikely to be affected based on the provided sources. Treat this as a legacy exposure cleanup item unless critical systems still depend on MadWifi wireless connectivity. Prioritize affected operational, embedded, or unattended Linux systems where a crash would disrupt service. Mitigation focus: Upgrade MadWifi to 0.9.3 or later where still used.; Apply relevant vendor security updates from Mandriva or SUSE if applicable.; Replace unsupported legacy wireless drivers or systems where updates are unavailable..
