A vulnerability has been identified in D-Link DWL-G132 Wireless Device Driver, which could be exploited by remote attackers to take complete control of an affected system. This flaw is due to a buffer overflow error in the "A5AGU.SYS" driver when handling requests with an overly long Rates Information Element, which could be exploited by attackers within range of a vulnerable Wi-Fi station to execute arbitrary commands with kernel-level privileges.
