by Brian Krebs’ Security Fix blog at The Washington Post, posted an article about wireless card security flaws. Though the article seems at first to focus on Apple OS X products, they were only used to demonstrate vulnerabilities found in multiple wireless drivers for a variety of operating systems. Later the article does discuss some Windows XP driver problems that allow hijacking a Windows system through the wifi drivers, too. Please see Krebs’ followup about Apple’s worries that people will focus on this issue as an OS X problem rather than a general paradigm problem, as well.
Today, Krebs points out that Intel already released driver updates for it’s Centrino wireless chipset based devices, though Intel hasn’t stated the update is related to the hacking demonstration by Jon Ellch and David Maynor at Black Hat.
