This issue was patched in RHSA-2011:1465.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream kernel-kdump-devel package and not the kernel-kdump-devel package as distributed by RHEL. See How to fix? for RHEL: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.
