			'Description'    => %q{
				The Apple Airport driver provided with Orinoco-based Airport cards (1999-2003 PowerBooks, iMacs)
				is vulnerable to a remote memory corruption flaw. When the driver is placed into active scanning 
				mode, a malformed probe response frame can be used to corrupt internal kernel structures, leading
				to arbitrary code execution. This vulnerability is triggered when a probe response frame is received
				that does not contain valid information element (IE) fields after the fixed-length header. The data 
				following the fixed-length header is copied over internal kernel structures, resulting in memory 
				operations being performed on attacker-controlled pointer values.
