CVE-2011-3359  (opens in a new tab)
CWE-119  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade Centos:6 kernel-debug to version 0:2.6.32-131.21.1.el6 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream kernel-debug package and not the kernel-debug package as distributed by Centos. See How to fix? for Centos:6 relevant fixed versions and status.

The dma_rx function in drivers/net/wireless/b43/dma.c in the Linux kernel before 2.6.39 does not properly allocate receive buffers, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (system crash) via a crafted frame.
